Panupong Jadnok, Rung, and Parit Chiwarak are the leaders of Thailand’s student-led pro-democracy movement.
She was the first to read out 10 demands to reform the kingdom’s monarchy before thousands of protesters at a rally on Aug 10, leading the defiance against the country’s biggest political taboo. Calls challenging the previously unassailable royal family have grown louder since, culminating in the unprecedented challenge by some protesters Wednesday who raised three fingers as the motorcade ferrying Queen Suthida and Prince Dipangkorn drove by.
She is one of 22 detained for Wednesday’s protest and a government spokesman has warned legal procedures will be pursued against those who had “acted in a way that defames the monarchy”.Born 1998 in Nonthaburi to a middle-class family running an auto workshop, Rung said she was just 10 years old when she first questioned the reverence with which the country was expected to treat the royals.
He has taken personal control of the palace’s fortune, worth an estimated US$60 billion, and also moved two army units under his direct command. Even before their latest arrest Thursday, Rung and other student leaders had been hit with multiple charges, including sedition, carrying a maximum sentence of seven years in jail.
