Thailand’s Constitutional Court permanently removed Paetongtarn Shinawatra as prime minister on Aug. 29, ruling that she violated constitutional ethics rules during a leaked phone call with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen.
The Constitutional Court’s ruling meant 39-year-old Paetongtarn—whose deputy, Phumtham Wechayachai, is serving as acting prime minister—was dismissed effective immediately.
