Thai Democracy Movement
The Thai Democracy Movement refers to a series of political movements in Thailand advocating for democratic reforms and greater political freedoms. It has roots in the struggle against military rule and has seen various protests and campaigns aimed at establishing a more representative government. Key events include the 1973 student uprising and the 2014 protests against the military coup.
Activists within the movement often call for the protection of human rights and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, where the power of the monarchy is limited. Prominent figures include the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship and the People's Democratic Reform Committee, both of which have played significant roles in shaping the movement's goals and actions.
