April 10 marks one year since the military crackdown on pro-democracy protestors at Bangkok’s Democracy Monument. That day alone 19 protestors were killed, including a Japanese photo-journalist. The final crackdown came on 19 May when an estimated 91 unarmed protestors were massacred on the streets.

The 91 dead included reporters, soldiers as well as protestors and not all dead protestors were red leaning. Such an error in wording only creates opportunity for criticism and should be avoided to best advance a cause.

You mean 19? Or 91. If the latter, read the short post again. If 19, then you might need a refresher on the events. I believe most reports have it that 25 died that day. Some say 26.

Not sure about the final total of killed. There was a confusing list (graphic) of 25 “casualties” – many but not all specifically noted as dead – published in The Nation. See http://www.nationmultimedia.com/admin/specials/sound/file/Apr10Casualties.pdf
I doubt this list is complete or final. If nothing else, if it does include “wounded” then some of the wounds identified are clearly critical and could well have led to death later.
