80 protesters suffocated after arrest in Thailand Aug 12th 2012, 11:02 Horrific! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...t-protest.html Quote: Almost 80 Muslim demonstrators arrested in southern Thailand suffocated after being crammed into army lorries, the Thai authorities admitted yesterday... ...In a comment likely to inflame Muslims, Thaksin Shinawatra, the prime minister, blamed the Ramadan fast for weakening those who died. A Muslim leader predicted that "hell will break out"... ...Pornthip Rojanasunan, chief forensic expert at the justice ministry, said the men could have been gagged to death. "It wasn't a case of not enough air to breathe, but they might have had something stuffed in their mouths or nostrils," she said. "Two or three had broken necks."
