THE MINNOWS: The main Erawan Shrine bombing suspects Adem Karadag, front, and Yusufu Mieraili, back, are escorted by police officers and prison personnel. The Uighurs know they aren't going to walk away, so disruption has no actual downside for the two accused. Then the Chinese embassy in Bangkok offered to fly in a pair of trusted Chinese linguists who speak English and Uighur. Said he, "I don't need an interpreter from China because China does not respect Uighurs." From the beginning, the Erawan shrine bombing was not to be terrorism.
