Ousted Thai prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra
Bangkok: Ousted Thai prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra launched a defiant defence on Friday at the first hearing of impeachment proceedings that could see her banned from politics for five years and deepen the country’s bitter divisions.
Yingluck, Thailand’s first female premier and the sister of self-exiled former leader Thaksin Shinawatra, was dumped from office by a controversial court ruling shortly before the army seized power on May 22. “I ran the government with honesty and in accordance with all laws,” she told the assembly.
