Two Chinese ethnic Uygur men have denied all charges against them relating to the Bangkok bomb attack last year. They were appearing at a Thai military court yesterday.

The two suspects face eight charges related to the bombing, including conspiracy to explode bombs and commit premeditated murder.

The bomb attack took place on August 17 at the Erawan Shrine, a popular attraction for tourists, leaving 20 people dead and more than 120 people wounded.

Police said the case against the two men was supported by video footage, witness testimonies, DNA matching and physical evidence, in addition to their confessions.
