Suspended Thai PM asks court for more time to respond to ethics case


BANGKOK: Thailand’s suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra (pic) asked a court for more time to file a defense statement in a case that could see her dismissed over the handling of a border dispute.

Paetongtarn’s office asked the Constitutional Court for a deadline extension, Secretary-General Prommin Lertsuridej told reporters on Tuesday. The court has not yet responded to the request or specified how much more time it will give, he said.
