What happened
A Thai court will rule Thursday on charges against two Uyghur men, Yusufu Mieraili and Bilal Mohammed, accused of planting a bomb at a Hindu shrine in Bangkok in August 2015. The defendants have denied the charges. The attack killed 20 people and wounded more than 100.
Why it matters
The trial has dragged on for roughly a decade, beset by delays from coronavirus disruptions and difficulties securing translators. A verdict now brings closure to the deadliest bombing in Thailand's history and offers resolution to families and the public after years of waiting.
What to watch
The court will deliver its verdict Thursday in South Bangkok Criminal Court.
