The legal noose tightened around former Thailand Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra this week when, on July 31, the nation's Criminal Court found his wife Pojaman Shinawatra guilty of tax evasion, sentencing her to three years in prison in a decision that will likely increase already sharp political tensions in the country

....

In a Bangkok courtroom, Thaksin and his family sat with somber expressions throughout proceedings as the judge reprimanded Pojaman, saying that her high economic, social and political status should have compelled her to set a better example for society.

Prior to the 2006 coup, political cases rarely made their way through Thailand's justice system. But that is changing. Earlier this month, three of Thaksin's lawyers were jailed for attempting to bribe court officials of the Constitutional Court by handing them the equivalent of $59,000 in a pastry bag as a gift.

How this week's verdict will play out in rural Thailand, where Thaksin enjoys his greatest support, remains to be seen. Last week, violence broke out in two northeastern provinces when pro-government groups attacked anti-government demonstrators as police looked on. Dozens were injured, prompting civil rights groups, academics and opposition politicians to demand the government protect its opponents' right to peacefully protest.
