Lawyers representing two Uyghur men sentenced to death for the 2015 Erawan Shrine bombing in Bangkok have announced their intention to appeal the verdict. The defense claims the court overlooked crucial evidence, specifically that one defendant demonstrably entered Thailand *after* the bombing occurred. They argue this evidence casts doubt on their client’s involvement in the attack, which killed 20 people and injured over 140. The initial ruling by the Criminal Court on Thursday condemned both men to death. The appeal will focus on perceived shortcomings in the court’s consideration of presented evidence. The 2015 bombing, a high-profile case, targeted a popular tourist destination and remains a sensitive issue in Thailand. Further legal proceedings are expected to unfold as the case moves to the appeal stage.
