Thailand PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra, father Thaksin face legal peril
"Paetongtarn Shinawatra is accused by 36 senators of dishonesty and breaching ethical standards over a leaked phone conversation with Cambodia's Hun Sen, threatening her position as prime minister."
"Thaksin Shinawatra faces a royal defamation case where he is accused of insulting Thailand's monarchy, a serious offence that may lead to a prison sentence of up to 15 years."
Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is facing a legal petition for dismissal, accused of dishonesty regarding a conversation with Cambodia's former leader, Hun Sen. If accepted, the petition could lead to her suspension from duty. Simultaneously, her father, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, is in court for a royal defamation case related to alleged insults against the monarchy. Both cases highlight the ongoing political tensions involving the Shinawatra family and the conservative military-royalist elite in Thailand.
