BANGKOK: Thailand's former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was moved from prison to a police hospital on Wednesday, officials said, a day after he was jailed on his return from 15 years in exile.

The 74-year-old, twice the Southeast Asian country's head of government and ousted in a 2006 coup, is suffering from multiple health complaints, officials said, and was moved to the medical facility shortly after midnight.
