"Insurgents in southern Thailand who execute teachers show utter depravity and disregard for humanity," said Brad Adams, Asia director of the New York-based group.
Suspected separatists gunned down two teachers this month in Pattani, prompting 1,300 schools to go on strike Thursday and Friday in the three southernmost provinces Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala. The schools reopened on Monday.
"These attacks harm not only teachers and schools, but the Muslim students, their families, and the broader Muslim community the insurgents claim to represent," Adams said.//DPA
