Military Court indicts accused Erawan bombers !!!


 

The Bangkok Military Court on Tuesday indicted the two key suspects
 in the Erawan shrine bombing on ten charges.

A lawyer for one of the men said military prosecutors yesterday
brought ten counts against Bilal Mohammed, aka Adem Karadag,
and Yusufu Mieraili, including premeditated murder, illegal
possession of weapons and premeditated attempted murder for
the bombing in August.

"The court has accepted the ten charges that prosecutors formally
brought against the two men," said Choochart Khanpai,
 Mr Mohammed's lawyer.

Shortly after the two appeared today, the United Nations called
on the government to stop holding civilian suspects in army
detention, AFP reported.

Authorities say Mr Mohammed has allegedly confessed to placing
 a rucksack with explosives at the Erawan shrine on Aug 17
 while Mr Mieraili allegedly confessed to detonating the bomb,
leaving 20 foreign tourists and Thais killed and 130 injured.

The suspects were taken from the temporary prison at the
 11th Military Circle in Bangkok's Dusit district to the
Military Court in Phra Nakhon on Tuesday morning where
they were asked if they wanted to use English- or
Turkish-speaking interpreters.

Mr Choochart said neither defendant entered a plea today
because further arrangements were needed to provide an
interpreter for his client. He said Mr Mohammed could not
communicate in English well and he refused to use a Thai-American
 police officer who has been serving as an interpreter for him
 and Mr Mieraili.

However, Mr Mieraili accepted Pol Lt Col Thuaythep David
Wiboonsilp of the Special Branch Bureau's Foreign Affairs
Division, who has appeared alongside the two men since the
 Erawan blast investigation, as his interpreter.

Documents sent by prosecutors to the court said both men were
 Chinese nationals from the Uighur minority.

Mr Mohammed asked the court to appoint an Uzbek man to
be his interpreter but the prosecutors opposed the request, saying
the man's background was not known and needed checking.

 

 

Mr Choochart will submit information about the Uzbek man
 within 15 days.

The court set Feb 16 for the defendants to formally hear the
 charges and enter their pleas.

Mystery still shrouds the motive for the unclaimed attack,
with police still not confirming the nationalities of the suspects.

The shrine that was targeted is particularly popular among
 ethnic Chinese visitors from across Asia, who made up the
 majority of those killed.

Strong speculation had centred on a link to militants or supporters
of the Uighurs, an ethnic group who say they face persecution
 in their homeland in China's Xinjiang region, after Thailand in
 July forcibly deported a group of 109 Uighurs back to China.

Police have rejected the notion that the bomb was a revenge
attack for the recent deportations.

AFP reported that China on Tuesday said it hoped justice would
 be delivered.

"This bombing fully reveals the barbarity of the criminals,"
Hong Lei, spokesman for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
 told reporters at a regular briefing. "We hope that justice can
 be delivered, and relevant people can be held accountable for
 what they have done."

Meanwhile, the UN reiterated its opposition to the use of military
 courts for civilians.

"The use of a military barracks as a detention facility is prone
 to human rights violations, including torture," said Matilda
Bogner from the UN Human Rights Office for South East Asia.

The UN added that it had received reports a lawyer representing
 one of the Bangkok bomb suspects "was not allowed to meet
with his client in a confidential manner, and that he had his
questions screened beforehand" at the barracks.

For  we are in special circumstance so I don’t mind

this case judge by military court .

 I believe they will use best justice for no need for them

to exchange their dignity to accuse the suspects.

 

Sincerely Yours.
