Thailand court to rule on fate of prime minister over leaked phone call with Cambodia’s leader

Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the daughter of former prime minister Thaksin, has been accused her of failing to protect Thailand’s interests

Thailand’s constitutional court will decide on Friday whether suspended prime minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra should be removed from office over comments she made in a leaked phone call to the former leader of Cambodia.

Paetongtarn, Thailand’s youngest prime minister, was suspended last month after a recording was leaked of her phone conversation with Hun Sen, in which they discussed a simmering border dispute between the neighbouring countries.
