Amnesty International: Fatal bomb attacks disregard basic right to life

Amnesty International has condemned the bomb attacks in several Thai provinces that killed at least four people and injured dozens more.

It said the  apparently coordinated blasts at tourist spots in southern Thailand are reprehensible acts of violence that must be thoroughly investigated, with those responsible brought to justice.
“Nothing can justify intentionally carrying out indiscriminate attacks, which disregard the basic right to life. These acts of violence show utter contempt for human rights,” said Champa Patel, Senior Research Advisor for Amnesty International’s Southeast Asia and Pacific Regional Office.
“Those behind the attacks must be brought to justice through fair trials. Amnesty International calls on Thai authorities to ensure their response is in accordance with their obligations under international human rights law.”
