<p>The Thai Supreme Court’s dismissal of criminal charges against a former prime minister and his deputy for their role in the deadly crackdown on “Red Shirt” protesters in May 2010 is a serious setback for justice in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hrw.org/asia/thailand">Thailand</a>, Human Rights Watch said today.
