Thailand: Ex-Premier’s Wife ArrestedPojaman Shinawatra, the wife of the ousted prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, returned to Thailand to fight corruption charges. She was met by the police after her flight arrived from Hong Kong, arrested, quickly released on bail, and ordered not to leave the country. Analysts said her return — the couple have been living mostly in London and Hong Kong since a military coup in 2006 — signaled confidence that the political situation, still unsettled after a victory by Mr. Thaksin’s allies in elections last month, would turn in their favor once a new government has been formed. Noppadol Pattama, a lawyer for the family, said Monday that Mr. Thaksin planned to return by mid-April. He is charged in the same cases as his wife, charges brought by the generals who carried out the coup.
