Two decades on,𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡, and the families of the victims are still waiting for truth, recognition, and redress. This silence speaks to the 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩-𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 that continues to persist in Thai society.


🔥 21 years after the massacre, questions of 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 and the 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 still echo loudly. Their pain has never faded—and neither should the call for justice.
