Thai report blames both sides for 2010 violence

Published



BANGKOK (AP) — An independent commission investigating deadly political violence that wracked Thailand two years ago issued a final report Monday that blamed both the government then in power and the so-called Red Shirts who were protesting against it.

The Truth for Reconciliation Commission of Thailand announced its findings on the March-May 2010 protests, in which at least 91 people died and almost 2,000 were injured by the time they were suppressed by the army. The protesters were mostly supporters of Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted as prime minister by a military coup in 2006.
