Thai ex-prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra has missed a verdict in a negligence trial that could have seen her jailed, prompting the Supreme Court to say it will issue an arrest warrant fearing she is a flight risk, according to the lead judge in the case.
“Her lawyer said she is sick and asked to delay the ruling … the court does not believe she is sick … and has decided to issue an arrest warrant,” lead Judge Cheep Chulamon told the court on Friday.
He also said the court has rescheduled the verdict ruling to September 27.
