ONE PROTEST, ONE MURDER

A Thai protestant died today at Bangkok after a several gun men opened fire on a bus that took some protestants from the antigovernment march in the capital. "The shooting lasted for around two minutes, the convoy stopped and everyone took shelter as they raked bullets over the vehicles," group leader Uthai Yodmanee told AFP news agency. Some time later the authorities were informed of 4 more injured people during this act of violence. There are several rumors about the purpose of the attack but some dare to say that it was a political strategy to silence the protestants.

In my opinion this in unacceptable, freedom of speech and freedom to express yourself is not a reason to be murdered or to be even silenced. This guy who was shamefully murdered after assisting to a peaceful march protesting for a better government will remain as a martyr. Its incredible to see how power and fear of other peoples way to think can take a fragile government to attack a bus, injure four and kill one of their own citizens.
