'It weighs heavy': Thaksin's daughter on ex-PM's jail sentence

Thailand's Supreme Court on Tuesday (September 9) ruled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra must serve one year in jail because his detention in a VIP wing of a hospital in lieu of prison was unlawful, in another major blow for a powerful family that has dominated politics for two decades. Thaksin's youngest daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, said that the news "weighs heavy" but that both her father and the family remain in good spirits.
