Abuse of Prisoners

Two thousand Muslims gathered to protest the arrest of six men. Security forces broke up the protest, and arrested 1300 people, carting them off in military vans.

On arrival at the military camp, it was found that 87 of those men had suffocated or died of heat stroke in the vans.

It will be interesting to see of this gets the publicity the incidents at Abu Ghraib got.

But I'm not expecting nearly as much.

You see, these Muslims died at the hands of Thai forces in the Narathiwat province of Thailand. Since the deaths weren't inflicted by Americans, they won't attract nearly as much attention.
