| 2021-08-13 |
| [BenarNews] Five years after bombings killed four people and injured more than 30 in tourist hotspots in southern Thailand, authorities have arrested only three of 11 suspects from the insurgency-stricken Deep South in connection with the attacks, and convicted only one, sources told BenarNews. A lawyer representing the suspects said one of the three men arrested had served his sentence, another was acquitted in May and a third is scheduled to return to court in September. "[T]he spread of COVID-19 caused postponements beginning last year," Sitthipong Chantawiroj, a lawyer with the Moslem Attorney Center Foundation, told BenarNews on Wednesday. |
