Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and ruling party lawmakers face a series of legal cases aimed at accomplishing what months of opposition-led street protests could not: Ejecting them from office and political life.
The country’s anti-corruption agency had called Yingluck to appear today, saying it has enough evidence to charge her with negligence in overseeing a rice-purchasing program the agency says is riddled with graft. It is also ready to charge lawmakers from her Pheu Thai party with attempting to overthrow the form of government, after they sought to change the selection process for members of the Senate.
