![August 23, 2011, Tokyo, Japan - Former Thai Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, speaks to foreign and domestic journalist during a news conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan (FCCJ) on Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Thaksin arrived in Japan on Monday on a high-profile visit at the invitation of the FCCJ. The fugitive former prime minister was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison for abuse of power over his wife's purchase of a plot of land from a state agency while he was in office. Because Japan's immigration law prohibits entry to any foreigner convicted of a crime carrying a sentence of more than one year, Thaksin had to obtain the special entry visa after a request from the new Thai government of his younger sister Thai Prime Minister, Yingluck Shinawatra.
