Thai king commutes former PM Thaksin's prison sentence to one year

Thaksin Shinawatra returned to Thailand last week in a dramatic homecoming after spending 15 years abroad in self-exile to avoid prison. He arrived on a private jet last week and was transferred to prison to serve an eight-year sentence. Thaksin applied for a royal pardon over graft and abuse of office convictions.
