THAILAND's Constitutional Court on Friday dismissed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, ruling that she violated ethics rules in a phone call with a high-ranking Cambodian official.
-
The decision ends the term of the nation's youngest prime minister and delivers the latest blow to the powerful Shinawatra political dynasty that has dominated Thai politics for more than two decades.
In a 6-3 vote, the judges found that Paetongtarn's conduct in a June 15 call with Cambodia's former leader Hun Sen compromised national interests.
