Ra-ngae district

Ra-ngae (Thai: ระแงะ, pronounced [rā.ŋɛ́ʔ]; Pattani Malay: ลือแฆะห์) is a district (amphoe) in Narathiwat province, southern Thailand.

Mueang Ra-ngae was divided from Pattani in the reign of King Rama I by Vice-King Boworn Maha Surasinghanat.

Later, the Human Rights Protection Committee, appointed by the Fourth Army Area Commander, concluded that soldiers mistook the dead men for terrorists and killed them as they were running away.

Images of the dead men on social media showed that each of them was shot in the head—two of them sitting crossed-leg on the ground, leaning forward.
