| One dead, two injured in prison riot in southern Thailand |
| 2011-09-06 |
| One inmate killed and two others injured after a prison riot in Pattani on Monday. The clash between Buddhist and Muslims inmates appears to have been over 'minor' regulations, a lack of halal food and overcrowding. The riot started after Muslim inmates accused a Buddhist inmate, appointed to assist prison guards, of treating them unfairly and not complying with halal regulations in the prison kitchen. Small fights broke out and continued sporadically before the death was reported and two other inmates were wounded. There are no details about who attacked the three men. |
