Ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra reportedly divorced his wife Pojaman in order for each to achieve separate goals. The divorce was supposedly only "on paper"... not because the couple was having relationship problems. The separation was simply "practical and legal".
The couple is calling the divorce a "strategy". Thaksin plans to continue to campaign against his political enemies, mainly the People's Alliance for Democracy. He is currently accused of corruption. If found guilty, it would affect Pojaman's freedoms (as his wife). The trial will be held at the end of the month.
Pojaman wants to apply for a visa to move to Britain with their three children. If Thaksin is found guilty, attaining a visa would be nearly impossible. Pojaman was already revoked of her visa once when Thaksin was first accused.
It is beleived that this "forced" divorce will rouse much sympathy among Thaksin supporters. It is reported that the couple remains very close.
