A court in Thailand on Thursday handed out death sentences to two ethnic Uyghur men from the northwestern Chinese region of Xinjiang for a 2015 bombing in Bangkok that killed 20 people in what is described as the country's worst ever terrorist attack.

The worst attack on the city in recent history killed 20, including tourists from China, Malaysia and Singapore.

The August 2015 attack at the popular Erawan Shrine in Bangkok's commercial heart killed 20 and wounded over 100 more.
