Thai court sacks PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra for ‘ethics violations’ over handling of border clash

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was dismissed Friday by the country’s Constitutional Court over her handling of a border clash with neighbouring Cambodia. The court said Paetongtarn had violated ethics in what her critics viewed as an overly friendly phone call with Cambodia’s former prime minister Hun Sen that was leaked to the press.
