Thai Constitutional Court Removes Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thailand's Constitutional Court has removed Prime Minister Paetongtarn
Shinawatra from office. She was found guilty of ethics violations over a
phone call to Cambodia's former leader. In a leaked recording of the
call, she criticized the Thai military's conduct in clashes with
Cambodia last month. Paetongtarn is the fifth prime minister since 2008
to be removed from office by Thailand's top court.
