20 Years After the Tak Bai Massacre, the Quest for Justice is Running out of Time

This weeks marks the 20th anniversary of the Tak Bai Massacre, in which 78 have lost their lives in a botched military transport of people arrested at a protest in the Deep Southern Thai town of Tak Bai (7 other have been killed in the dispersal prior). This is also the week when the statute of limitations run out as justice is still being sought for what has happened then. Recent legal actions saw several military officers charged, but none of them have been served and are said to have fled the country, hoping to sit the case out.
