🔹The Cross-Cultural Foundation (Thailand) together with (@Asia Justice and Rights) is organizing an event on 22 October 2024 to present key findings of AJAR transition Justice Handbook; an initiative to commemorate the 20 years of the Tak Bai incident.
🔹The event is to express our solidarity with the victims of the Tak Bai Incident and their families as they seek justice for the tragic deaths of individuals during a peaceful protest in 2004.
