Two Uighur men were sentenced to de@th on June 11 for carrying out a 2015 attack on a Bangkok shrine that k!lled 20 people, a long-awaited verdict in Thailand’s deadliest bombing case.
A Thai court convicted Yusufu Mieraili and Bilal Mohammed of premeditated and attempted murder for their role in planting a bomb at the popular Erawan Shrine in Bangkok’s commercial heart in August 2015.
“The defendants committed a single act that violated multiple laws. The court therefore imposed the harshest penalty available under the law, the death sentence,” one member of the four-judge panel said.
