	Not everyone knows what crime Thaksin was convicted of. But even if everyone does, there are babies being born every minute who will someday encounter Thaksin&rsquo;s name for the first time. They deserve to know what he was found guilty of.</div>
<div>
	So when you write about Thaksin, please be precise and state the crime he was convicted for.</div>

On news and articles about Thaksin, his name is always preceded by "convicted fugitive" and I wonder why the media are shy from specifying the crime he was convicted of. Is the case too frivolous to mention?
