Relatives demand justice for victims of 2010 crackdown

RELATIVES of people killed in the 2010 crackdown gathered at the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) Monday to demand justice.

Many held up signs with messages such as “The dead still await justice”. The group also handed in a letter listing their demands.
Ubonwadee Chan, a representative of the group, said they were concerned that the investigation into then-PM Abhisit Vejjajiva and his then-deputy Suthep Thaugsuban – who was director of the Centre for Resolution of the Emergency Situation – had started to stagnate.
“I want [NACC commissioner] Vicha [Mahakun] to give priority to this case so the victims can finally have justice and peace can return to the country,” she said. 
She also urged the NACC to take into account details on body identification and a fact-finding report on the crackdown compiled by the Senate and House of Representatives.
