Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn dismissed by court for ethics violations

SINGAPORE (ICIS)–Thailand’s Constitutional Court has on Friday dismissed Thailand Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra after she was found guilty of ethics violations during a leaked call with former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.

The decision paves the way for the election of a new prime minister and ends the term of Paetongtarn after just one year, throwing Thailand into further political turmoil amid economical headwinds and border conflicts with Cambodia.
