Thaksin Shinawatra’s lawyer has demanded the Thai government and human rights organisations provide “solid evidence” if they are to continue accusing the Manchester City owner of wrongdoing.

Ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has denied allegations of extrajudicial killings during his premiership, his lawyer said.

THAILAND’S ousted and exiled prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was ordered yesterday to appear before police in Bangkok next week to face corruption charges.
