In Thailand, a cameraman for the news organization Reuters has been identified as among the victims of clashes Saturday between Thai police and so-called Red Shirt protesters. The cameraman, Hiro Muramoto, was filming the unrest when he was shot in the chest. It’s unclear who fired the fatal shot, as both police and protesters exchanged gunfire. At least sixteen protesters and four police officers were killed. Muramoto was a Japanese national. Japan is calling on the Thai government to probe his death.
