BANGKOK (Reuters) -It was a Thai court decision last year that swept Paetongtarn Shinawatra into the prime minister's office and now, once again, the fate of the 38-year-old novice politician lies in the hands of the judiciary.
The Constitutional Court suspended Paetongtarn - Thailand's youngest prime minister - from office on Tuesday, pending a case that seeks her dismissal over a controversial phone call last month with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen.
