(File photo)The Supreme Court has upheld the sentencing of six former leaders of the yellow-shirt People's Alliance for Democracy to eight months in jail each for breaking into Government House in 2008. The Appeal Court reduced their sentences to eight months in jail, commuted from one year. The Supreme Court ruled that their demonstration was not peaceful, as they claimed, because their supporters broke into Government House. All were taken to Bangkok Remand Prison after the ruling was read out.
