Exclusive FRANCE 24 footage shows

soldiers firing directly at protesters

 

 

 

 

A FRANCE 24 team were reporting from the thick of the fighting on

Saturday night when the Thai army launched its crackdown on the anti

government “Red Shirts” protesters.

Our exclusive footage contradicts the Thai government’s declaration

that soldiers only fired live rounds “into the air”. At least 20 people

were killed and 800 wounded in the violence.

At 1’25 in the FRANCE 24 video above, Thai soldiers can be seen firing

their automatic riffles directly at the protesters.

 “We visited different hospitals Sunday morning and we’ve seen

several victims with bullet wounds in the head (…) It’s really hard to

believe the official declaration that mentions only rubber bullets and

troops firing into the air”, says Cyril Payen, FRANCE 24’s

correspondent in Bangkok, who was at the scene of the fighting on

Saturday night.

According to our team, the clash was triggered by the explosion of a

grenade, the origin of which remains unknown.

 “The explosion killed seven soldiers and wounded a colonel of the

Thai security forces in his head”, says FRANCE 24’s Payen.

Did

unknown snipers kill Bangkok protesters?

 While the victims of the explosion were being taken to the nearest

hospital, the army retaliated by firing into the crowd, plunging

Bangkok into chaos.

These deadly clashes come after almost a month of mass-demonstrations

by the “Red Shirts”, who are calling for early elections and consider

Abhisit Vejjajiva, head of government since December 2008, as totally

illegitimate.
