Suspended Thai PM Shinawatra arrives to government house ahead of verdict

Thailand’s Constitutional Court has removed suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from office, after finding her guilty of ethical misconduct over a controversial phone call with Cambodia’s former leader, Hun Sen. Paetongtarn, daughter of ex-prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, was suspended from office last month after being accused of failing to stand up for Thailand in a June call with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen, which was leaked online.

The ruling on Friday makes Paetongtarn the fifth prime minister since 2008 to be stripped of office by Thai judges.
