Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was removed from office by the Constitutional Court, raising the risk of fresh protests in the capital after months of unrest.
Yingluck, 46, “violated the constitution,” Judge Udomsak Nitimontree said today in a nationally-televised ruling. She transferred the secretary-general of the National Security Council in 2011 in a process that “indicates an abuse of power,” the judge said.
