Over ninety people died on the streets of Bangkok in 2010, most of them killed by the Thai army, during a period of prolonged political turmoil. There were mass demonstrations and the bloody state crackdown became known as 'Cruel April' in the Thai press. Now there are protests in Thailand again.

In the week of the anniversary, here is another chance to hear it.
