<div>Last week Thailand's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) released a report on the "Demonstrations by the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) during 12 March–19 May 2010" on their website.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>It took the NHRC three years to write the 88-page report, available only in (sloppy, ungrammatical) Thai <a href="http://www.nhrc.or.th/2012/wb/img_contentpage_attachment/692_file_name_9897.pdf">here</a>.
