Five Years after Blasts in Southern Thailand, Few Have Faced Justice
[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.
