Thailand's Prime Minister, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, was dismissed by the Constitutional Court. A leaked phone call with Cambodia's former leader, Hun Sen, led to accusations of compromising national interests. The court ruled that her actions, while not dishonest, breached ethical standards. This decision ends her term and delivers a significant blow to the Shinawatra political dynasty, known for its influence in Thai politics for over two decades. Paetongtarn maintains her innocence, claiming her actions aimed to prevent conflict.
