Tak Bai massacre: Thai muslims demand justice 20 years after tragedy

Thailand’s Prime Minister has issued a formal apology over what’s know as the Tak Bai massacre.

Two decades ago, a military operation targeted Thai Muslims near the Malaysian border, resulting in the deaths of at least 80 men.

On Friday, the 20-year statute of limitations expires, meaning charges can never be brought against those responsible.

Al Jazeera’s Tony Cheng reports from the town of Tak Bai in southern Thailand.
