I think that by now, most of you know what happened to me as I was trying to cover an election rally on May 2. You’ve heard how six to ten security guards began chasing me as I was photographing the election march. It’s been well reported how they kicked me and hit me with batons in the head, face, hands and stomach and left me unconscious in the street. It took three skilled surgeons in Bangkok to fix the damage they did to my face, but I will still carry the scars forever.
