The World Uyghur Congress has issued a statement condemning the death penalty given by the Bangkok South Criminal Court against two Uygur men for alleged involvement in the August 2015 Erawan Shrine bombing.

The South Bangkok Criminal Court last Thursday (7 November) ruled to acquit Wanna Suansan, a 36-year-old woman accused of being involved in the 2015 Erawan Shrine bombing, due to insufficient evidence.
