This week my law firm participated in the filing of a preliminary report on behalf of the Thai Red Shirt movement and others to notify the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court with regard to the situation of recent political violence, arguing that an investigation into the alleged commission of crimes against humanity by the authorities is merited. 

In the preparation of this document as well as other future filings, our team on the ground in Bangkok has interviewed at length dozens of witnesses and survivors for details of the events which resulted in the violent crackdown of the Red Shirt protest camp. These testimonies, published for the first time in this document, are a chilling reminder of the urgency of international action on this issue (see excerpt below). At the bottom of this post is an embedded link to the full document.
