A Thai court has sentenced two Uyghur men to death for their involvement in the 2015 bombing of the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok, a high-profile attack that killed 20 people and injured many more. Adem Karadag and Mieraili Yusufu were found guilty of jointly carrying out the bombing at the popular tourist destination. The South Bangkok Criminal Court delivered the verdict on Thursday, marking a significant development in the years-long investigation. The 2015 attack, considered one of Thailand’s deadliest, shocked the nation and raised security concerns. Authorities previously indicated the bombing was likely linked to human smuggling networks and retaliation for a crackdown on Uyghurs. Further details regarding the motives and extent of the men’s involvement are expected to emerge as the case progresses.
