2010 Thai military crackdown
On 10 April and 13–19 May 2010, the Thai military cracked down on the National United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) protests in central Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. The crackdown was the culmination of months of protests that called for the Democrat Party-led government of Abhisit Vejjajiva to dissolve parliament and hold elections. The crackdowns occurred in the vicinity of protest sites near Phan Fah bridge and Ratchaprasong intersection. More than 85 were killed, including more than 80 civilians according to the Erawan EMS Center.〔 Two foreigners and two paramedics were killed.〔 More than 2,000 were injured, an undisclosed number of arrests occurred, and 51 protesters remained missing as of 8 June.〔〔 The Thai media dubbed the crackdowns "Cruel April" ( ''Mesa Hot'') and "Savage May" ( ''Phruetsapha Ammahit'').〔กรุงเทพธุรกิจออนไลน์, (พฤษภาอำมหิตกับองค์การนิรโทษกรรมสากล ), 2 มิถุนายน 2010〕〔บ้านเมือง, (สะเก็ดการเมือง: หมอพรทิพย์ ลุยสอบเมษาโหด ), 23 เมษายน 2553〕〔()〕 After the protest leaders surrendered at the conclusion of the 19 May crackdown, dozens of arson attacks occurred nationwide, including at CentralWorld.
On 10 April, troops executed an unsuccessful crackdown on protesters at Phan Fah bridge on Ratchadamnoen Road, resulting in 25 deaths (including one Japanese journalist and 5 uniformed soldiers) and over 800 injuries.〔http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/294211/road-to-victory-is-red〕 Troops fired on protesters near Makhawan Rangsan bridge during the afternoon. Later that evening, automatic gunfire, explosives, and tear gas were used in clashes on Khao San Road and Khok Wua intersection.〔The Nation, (Keeper shot dead at zoo believed a victim of political violence ), 15 April 2010〕 The Erawan Center noted that among the dead protesters were soldiers in disguise.〔 The military claimed that soldiers only used live rounds to defend themselves, and claimed that the military deaths were due to terrorists.
Ratchaprasong was surrounded with armoured vehicles and snipers in the days leading to 13 May.〔CSM, (Thai PM preps snipers, police to seal off Red-Shirt protest site ), 13 May 2010〕 On the evening of 13 May, Khattiya Sawasdiphol ("Seh Daeng"), a popular security adviser to the protesters, was shot in the head by what was apparently a sniper's bullet while he was giving an interview to ''The New York Times''. The state of emergency, already in place in Bangkok, was expanded to 17 provinces and the military commended an extended crackdown, leading to an additional 41 civilians deaths (including an Italian photographer) and more than 250 injuries by 8:30 pm on 18 May.〔ศูนย์บริการการแพทย์ฉุกเฉิน สำนักการแพทย์ กรุงเทพมหานคร, (รายงานเหตุการณ์การชุมนุมของกลุ่ม นปช. )〕 One military death occurred due to accidental friendly fire.〔TNN, (ยิงอากาศโยธินควบวีโก้เข้าสีลมโดนสอยดับ1เจ็บ1 ), 17 May 2010〕 The military claimed that all civilians killed were either armed terrorists or civilians shot by terrorists, and noted that some civilians were shot by terrorists disguised in Army uniforms.〔(Bangkok Post )〕 The military declared the area a "live fire zone," and medics were banned from entering.〔〔The Nation, (Medics banned from entering 'red zones' ), 16 May 2010〕〔''Brisbane Times'', (16 dead, more likely as Thai authorities ramp up protest crack down ), 15 May 2010〕 On 16 May, UDD leaders said they were ready for talks as long as the military pulled back, but the government demanded the protesters' unconditional dispersal. The government rejected a Senate call for a ceasefire and Senate-mediated negotiations. On 17 May, Amnesty International called for the military to stop using live ammunition.〔Amnesty International, (Thailand: Military Must Halt Reckless use of Lethal Force ), 17 May 2010〕 Armored vehicles led the final assault into Ratchaprasong in the early morning of 19 May, killing at least five. Soldiers were reported to have fired on medical staff who went to the aid of the shooting victims.〔 By 1:30 pm, UDD leaders surrendered to police and told protesters to give themselves up. Dozens of arson attacks soon broke out nationwide. A curfew was declared and troops were authorized to shoot on sight anybody inciting unrest.〔
==Background==
(詳細はSupreme Court ruling on former President Takshin Shinawatra. When the 26 February ruling confirmed the bribery accusations, protests were limited, but the UDD announced it would organize a 14 March protest and call for new elections. Abhisit further tightened security in anticipation of the protest. The media was censored, and radio stations and television stations sympathetic to the protesters were shut down.
