Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been removed from office by the Constitutional Court. Judges ruled she violated ethics during a leaked June phone call with Cambodia’s former leader Hun Sen. In the call, she called him “uncle” and criticised the Thai army, sparking anger amid border tensions. The court said her actions “appeared to align with Cambodia” and damaged public trust. Paetongtarn, daughter of ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra, insisted she was trying to save lives. She is the third Shinawatra leader forced out of power. Parliament will now choose her successor from registered candidates. (PC: BBC)
