Bangkok, July 1 (AP) – Thailand's Constitutional Court has temporarily removed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra from office as it investigates allegations stemming from a leaked phone call with a former Cambodian leader. The court unanimously agreed on Tuesday to review the petition accusing her of ethical violations, and voted 7 to 2 in favor of suspending her duties. Paetongtarn has been facing increased criticism over her management of the recent border conflict with Cambodia. The dispute escalated into an armed confrontation on May 28, resulting in the death of a Cambodian soldier. The leaked conversation, which surfaced amid diplomatic efforts to resolve the border issue, has triggered a wave of complaints and public demonstrations. (AP) NPK NPK
