A Thai military court has sentenced two Uyghur nationals to death for the 2015 bombing of the Erawan shrine in Bangkok, the country’s deadliest terrorist attack. The bomb killed 20 and injured over 120, sparking international outrage. However, critics point to investigative flaws, potential violations of human rights, and a decade‑long, opaque trial that saw the accused claim torture and delayed translators. The verdict, while upheld by judges citing phone data as evidence, is set to be challenged by the defendants’ lawyer. The case remains controversial amid calls for a review of Thailand’s judicial procedures.
