Muslims protest questioning of bomb suspect in southern Thailand
A group of Muslim women and children blocked a road in Yala province to demand authorities to release two suspects who were believed to be involved in planting a bomb at a petrol station early Tuesday. About 100 protestors blocked Petchakasem road in Muang district since 10.30 a.m. to demand that police release Mahideen Samoah and Sateeyoh Jae-sani, whom police called in for questioning relating to the bomb at the station.The bomb exploded at a convenience store of the station at around 2.45 a.m., when insurgents were still planting it, causing one of them to lose an arm, said police, who found a human arm at the scene. Police interrogated the two persons after they found blood at their homes. The demonstration went on for about an hour, and the protestors dispersed shortly after police released the two after the interrogation. Posted by: ryuge 2007-02-27 |
