Ousted Thai PM Srettha Thavisin Says He "Respects" Court Decision

Ousted Thai prime minister Srettha Thavisin said Wednesday that he respected a court ruling that removed him from office in an ethics case.

"I respect the verdict. I reiterate that for the almost one year I have been in this role, I have tried with good intentions to lead the country with honesty," Srettha told reporters outside his office after the Constitutional Court ruling.
