re: "Protest leaders, massacre survivors mark sombre anniversary" (BP, October 6, 2020)
Dear editor,
Perhaps saddest of all in the commemoration of the student massacre of more than four decades ago is that every effort to further democracy for the Thai nation for 40 and more years since that brutal abuse of Thai citizens by morally corrupt Thai authorities and right-wing extremists has been ruthlessly suppressed by the repeated coups against democratic progress for the Thai nation.
The Thai people deserve so much more than they have been allowed by those plotting, committing, colluding in, and accepting coups, which have never solved any Thai social or political problem, certainly not corruption or injustice, as the state of Thailand today too abundantly attests.
Felix Qui
