Tak Bai massacre 20 years on: Search for justice continues as clock ticks on statute of limitations
The insurgency in southernmost Thailand, near the border with Malaysia, is a conflict seldom mentioned. Twenty years ago, more than 1,000 demonstrators were arrested during violent protests in the town of Tak Bai. Seventy-eight died after they were piled into trucks, crushed and "suffocated" while being driven over five hours to an army camp. Saksith Saiyasombut takes us back to the scene where conflict continues.
