From April-May of last year, violent confrontations took place between the Thai military and "Red Shirt" anti-government protestors in Bangkok, Thailand. As a result of protracted street battles that occurred when the government attempted to disperse the protestors, around 90 people died and around 2,000 were injured. This is the worst violence the Thai capital has seen in nearly two decades.
Yingluck Shinawatra, the newly elected Prime Minister, has stated that investigations are ongoing. But, to date, only Red Shirts have been charged with crimes even though the majority of those killed were protestors.
Encourage the Prime Minister to set up a transparent, impartial, and independent investigation to hold those who committed human rights abuses accountable, including members of the security apparatus.
