20 years later, time for justice for #TakBai
"7 deaths at the site & 78 more during the transport of 1,370 #protesters .. each lorry had to take almost 50 protesters for 5 hours fr the protest site to #Pattani camp.. The demonstrators were ordered to lie w their heads down & were packed in 3 or 4 piles deep.. The case will be a test for #justice for #PheuThai .. The #massacre took place when Thaksin Shinawatra was PM as his govt #failed to restore peace in the far South."

"Thaksin, then #primeminister, quickly branded the robbers "small-time crooks", which can't have improved things. If he had been more prudent, the #KrueSe #mosque & #TakBai #massacres in April 2004 & October of the same year, in which 32 & 85 #Thai #Muslims died, respectively, might have played out differently or even been avoided. Although he did not directly gave orders for the #military #crackdowns in those cases, #Thaksin, as head of the #government, must bear some #responsibility" #Thailand
