Role In Election Fiasco
Former Thai election officials convicted


Three former election commissioners were convicted yesterday of dereliction of duty and sentenced to two years in prison for their role in Thailand's election fiasco.

It was their second conviction over their handling of April 2 general elections, which were later nullified. In July, a court sentenced them each to four years in prison in a related case that they are appealing.
