| Thai tourist murder suspects accuse police of torture - lawyer |
|
| A lawyer representing two Myanmar men charged with the murder of two British tourists in Thailand said on Monday that their families have asked Thai authorities to investigate allegations of torture. The bodies of British tourists Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, were discovered on a rocky alcove on the island of Koh Tao on Sept. 15. Last month police said two men - Myanmar workers Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Htun - had admitted to the killings. The murders have dented tourism, which accounts for nearly 10 percent of Thailand's gross domestic product, at a time when the country is still under martial law following a May coup. |

 By Amy Sawitta Lefevre BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's military government vowed on Monday to bring peace to the Muslim-dominated south within a year, despite stalled peace talks aimed at ending an insurgency that has cost thousands of lives in the past decade. Sporadic violence has killed more than 5,700 people in Thailand's Muslim-majority provinces bordering Malaysia, where resistance to Buddhist rule has existed for decades and resurfaced violently in January 2004. We will try to bring peace within a year," Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan told reporters. The violence comes as Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha seeks to present an image of greater effectiveness in containing the insurgency, based in Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat provinces in Thailand's so-called "Deep South".

 By Ruma Paul DHAKA (Reuters) - Bangladesh's Supreme Court upheld the death penalty on Monday handed down for an Islamist leader for atrocities during the war of independence from Pakistan more than four decades ago. Mohammad Kamaruzzaman, 62, assistant secretary general of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, was found guilty of genocide and torture of unarmed civilians during the 1971 war to break away from Pakistan by a special war crimes tribunal in May last year. The tribunals have delivered death sentences for two Jamaat leaders, including its party chief and former minister, Motiur Rahman Nizami, over the past week.
