...tenure that featured several free-speech controversies. In response, Nichol announced his immediate resignation and accused the board of making a politically motivated decision and of offering him a bribe—allegations that the board expressly denied in a statement.

Members of the urban middle class, who hadn't benefited from Thaksin's programs, eventually spilled into the streets demanding his ouster, prompting military intervention and a bloodless coup. TRT was dissolved by a Constitutional Tribunal, which found its members guilty of electoral fraud, and charges of corruption have been brought against Thaksin who, along with 110 other TRT executives, was banned from politics for five years...
