Hej
Efter läckan med dom statliga dokumenten reagerar äntligen omvärlden på vad som egentligen hände vid demonstrationerna i Bangkok då journalister, sjuksköterskor och folk som gömde sig i ett tempel besköts, 30 diplomatiska representanter och 6 ambassadörer uttryckte sin besvikelse över att inga framsteg har gjorts i undersökningarna om döda och skadade i samband med militärens raid mot dom röda demonstranterna.
Och TRC (Truth for Reconciliation Commission) tycker inte att militären har varit samarbetsvilliga, och att bevis material som indikerar att beskjutningarna kommer ifrån armen har försvunnit, och många vågar inte vittna av rädsla för reressalier.

Diplomats demand answersPublished: 11/12/2010 at 12:00 AM

International governments have expressed their disappointment with a lack of progress in investigations into deaths and injuries during the military's crackdown on red shirt protesters.
They warned that Thailand's failure to establish the truth would hurt its long-term credibility and international relations.
About 30 diplomatic representatives including six ambassadors expressed their frustrations at a meeting on Thursday with key members of the government-appointed Truth for Reconciliation Commission (TRC), sources from the meeting told the Bangkok Post.
Their key concern was that culprits may be let off the hook.
Seeking the truth has been a difficult task for the TRC, which has no authority to subpoena witnesses.
Somchai Hom-laor, a TRC member, said the army had made it clear it would not reveal details about its operations - even though it had previously promised the panel it would provide its detailed plan. "But the army recently told us they had no such plan. They said they just handled situations on a daily basis," Mr Somchai said.
The TRC investigation has found that several pieces of forensic evidence, such as bullet shells, have disappeared, he said. Some bullet shells indicate they were from weapons possessed by state agencies, he said.
A source quoted Mr Somchai as saying many witnesses had refused to give information to the TRC because they feared repercussions.
