Relatives of a suspected rebel who fell unconscious and died while in military custody in Thailand’s Deep South expressed disappointment Monday after the national human rights commission notified them it had ended its investigation without finding clear medical evidence on the cause of his death.
Abdullah Esomuso, 34, was found unconscious at 3 a.m. July 21, 2019, in an interrogation center at an army camp in Pattani province, where he had been held for 10 hours, prompting his family to question if military interrogators had tortured him. After falling into a coma, he died in a hospital on Aug. 25, 2019, while still in military custody.
