Six suspects detained in Yala and Pattani for questioning

 

 

More than 200 troops and policemen searched 19 locations in the southern border provinces of Yala and Pattani late Friday night, seeking those suspected of involvement in the fatal attack on a village defence volunteer outpost in Yala’s Muang district on Tuesday night.

 

Nine suspects were apprehended in their coordinated searches of six locations in Kok Pho district of Pattani and 13 locations in neighbouring Muang district of Yala province.  Three were released shortly after initial checks showed they have no criminal records, but the rest were detained for further questioning.

 

Two other suspects were earlier also detained for questioning.

Conducting road stops four days after the incident.

Apprehend 9 people from a sweep of 19 locations for which 3 had no criminal record.

Have to wonder whether the authorities were working from some kind of "blacklist" (like those 'no fly' lists) rather than relying on any hard evidence related to the incident.

But that would be legal in any event as the Prayut government has extended martial law in the area for another year. Just another "tick mark" for the insurgency to expand membership.
