Suspect Dies in Military Custody in Deep South

Family and relatives of Abdullayib Dolah, 42, gathered Friday morning at the Inkayuth army base to hear news about his death.

PATTANI — A Muslim man detained by the military in the restive province of Pattani last month died in custody this morning, only a day after his family visited him.

Abdullayib Dolah, 42, died of as yet-unexplained circumstances at the Inkayuth army base – the third death of a suspect held in Thai military custody since Oct. 23, according to a military news release.

The statement said soldiers at the base immediately summoned a local doctor to find out how Abdullayib died but no conclusion was reached, so his body was sent to a hospital in Songkhla for a more detailed autopsy.

The decision to transfer his body was made “for the peace of mind of his relatives and the public, and, more importantly, to deter any individuals with ill intention to exploit Mr. Abdullahib’s death for furthering their own agenda,” the statement said.

Third death in custody this year? That must be some sort of world record for the low number of unexplained deaths in army custody anywhere in the world. Well done Thailand for absolutely minimizing these terrible deaths....

And no I am not being sarcastic, if the data are true and there are not massive numbers of deaths in police custody, then there are remarkably few deaths compared to elsewhere.
