Thai Court Sentences Two Uighurs to Death for 2015 Bangkok Bombing

A Thai court in Bangkok sentenced two Uighurs to death for their role in a 2015 bombing attack that killed 20 people. The bombing represents one of the bloodiest incidents in Thailand's history. The Uighurs are a Turkic Muslim ethnic minority primarily from China's western Xinjiang region, where many have faced persecution and restrictions on their religious and cultural practices. Thailand has previously been involved in deportation controversies involving Uighur refugees, with some being sent back to China despite international concerns about their treatment.
