Thailand's SC said ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra must serve one year in prison for previous convictions. Shinawatra, convicted in three cases involving graft and power abuse, was given an eight-year term; however, it was commuted to one year by King Maha Vajiralongkorn. He'd spent only a day in prison, citing medical reasons, which raised concerns about whether he was genuinely ill.
