[BANGKOK] Thailand's military-appointed legislature found ousted former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra guilty of negligence on Friday.
A tally of votes - placed on a whiteboard in the National Legislative Assembly and broadcast live - showed 190 members voted in favour of impeachment.
The verdict carries with it a five-year ban from politics for Yingluck, who was removed from office for abuse of power days before a military coup toppled the remnants of her government in May.
The decision required three-fifths of the vote, or 132 of the 220 members of the Assembly.
