Русская версияThailand's Supreme Court has issued an arrest warrant for former
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife after the couple
skipped bail.
They were due to appear in a Bangkok court on Monday,
but Thaksin issued a statement saying he and his wife were
travelling to Britain, because they could not receive a fair trial
in Thailand. He blamed political opponents for interfering in the
legal system. Thaksin has been indicted on a number of fraud
charges since he was ousted in a coup in 2006. He has spent most of
his time since then living in exile in London.
