Penguin: the Thai protest leader risking jail
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2020
- The Guardian follows Parit Chiwarak, known as Penguin, one of Thailand's prominent protest leaders as he helps organise one of the biggest anti-government rallies in years. He and many other young people are risking prison to demand a significant democratic overhaul: they want the power and wealth of the monarchy curbed. Parit said he already faced 18 charges, including sedition, for his involvement in previous demonstrations. More rallies are expected in Bangkok on Wednesday

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@@StupidBros my Opinion is vote oust Government for doing a bad job
Government is Hypocrites
It’s far from the truth!
I’m Thammasat U alumni and I utterly disagree with this mob who often uses the University name to back themselves up!
Thai King is fine. Royal family has done more for the country than Thai politicians, all combined, have!
The current Thai government is also fine since they’ve come from elections and they have shown progress in developing the country, even during the global hardship.
This mob is citing democracy but it actually is oligarchy!
He's not just risking himself in jail, he's risking losing his life in jail.
Who ? The oligarch spoild brat leading your protest? You got to be kidding me
if he emerged from jail alive, he will be president or governor. it is worth the risk. reward outweights risk. cheers!
To The Citizens of Thailand 🇹🇭
Learn from Our Mistake Here in the Philippines 🇵🇭.
Stop the Revolution Against the Government or Else you will End Up ! Just like our County.
That All Started when When the "People Power Revolution" Bring Down the Government and our Great Leader Marco's.
@@mixentertainment4624 Thailand is not the Philippines, it's a different story, a different country, a different culture. What you have not achieved they might be achieve.
@DA BLACK HULK he got us dollars, so who cares
Big changes starts with small steps. What a brave young man.
I hope that Thailand is able to become a stable parliamentary democracy.
Thai revolution
Lol not as long as the military stills run the country
@@norpriest521 you do relized that the reason the country not in fire yet is becuse there are king... if.. no king.. and gave democracy to people... Rich people will just spend moeny to get elect like past prime minister and his sis... and military had come back to force it back.. it just endless cycle.. since alot of people know.. there are forign country out there hoping for thailand stablity... this is why cold war was worry thialand would end up as commisum... rather a kingdom than commusim...
Only the revolution would satisfy that wish.
@@campkira you mean the king who had spent the last 2 years living in germany? THAT king? You must be joking...
It seems the people of the world are wanting change
Because people has noticed that the current system ain't working or it ain't fair for the majority.

Heckling the royal motorcade - ballsy stuff. Noone likes to be washed up on the banks of the Mekong. I take my hat off.
you sure receiving an F- on your geography.
@boboverlord18 It's not the Mekong he should worry about but the chao phraya river.
@boboverlord18 it's not, when he can't connect his geography with his message, he's talking nonsense and only trying to play scaremongering game.
The Mekong is far form Bangkok. Bodies would be tossed in the Chao Phraya River and found out to sea.
The guy is referring to the many dissidents who had fled to thailands neighboring countries. Then disappeared and where found in the Mekong river
Best of luck to him, and everyone in Thailand looking for freedom from such oppression.
2:14 Thailand's role of monarchy are similar to Jordan, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Morocco, Tonga and Bhutan. Where they have Semi-Absolute Monarchy it's not an absolute monarchy like Saudi Arabia, Oman and Brunei where executive, legislative and judicial power are vested to the monarch and it's not constitutional monarchy like United Kingdom, Denmark, Spain, Norway and Belgium where their monarchs are just ceremonial figurehead.
thai king influence the country secretly through prime minister since the protestors aim to put the royal family's power under democracy.
Yeah, Morocco, Jordan and Lichtenstein have influence over military, give his dog 🐶 Colonel title use money for 20 mistresses in Germany. All for that against the role of Monarch in Constitutional monarchy.
@@CosmicHowlerx Semi-Absolute Monarchy will work in countries with less population and it won't work in Thailand.
@@2557carla Well, it worked for 80 years but let's see if it would last 1 or 2 years more since tensions rose a lot since the royal family and the dictator government show its power more in the public and social media.
@@CosmicHowlerx Because it won't work in a country with big population. Thailand copy Monaco-Liechtenstien style of system of government but yet it didn't work for Thailand.
This is the best documentary of the year 2020 for me.
Because it's made by foreign media?
Thai Puan, I am thinking of you, and wishing for the best!
We wish that the protest without violence will keep going on this way, And expect it will not be violence like in the past. Best of luck to the students and people who stand up for their rights and democracy.
No protesters would like to make violence. They came out without rewards only for the love of their country. Who will use violence first? Everybody knows.
they alredy gave out order to end all protest... they try not to hurt the kid but this had to stop..

I wonder how she feel about this.
I hope they win. And that guy is just so brave.

@@campkira no not really. We're not any better than any other country without a monarch. If anything we are worse.
Dear Thai people,
We have done this before and see now how we're doing being fooled by oligarchs and is lagging. Just thanking we're now bouncing back with the current admin. Anyways, it's an internal problem and you know it better.
Love, from your Filipino brother
Thank you brother❤️
The truth is a lot deeper than what you all know and said ??? Look around the world why Thailand ???
Nigeria, Thailand...year of awakening
Who remembers the Thai protest protecting the King and ousting the democratic government that was for the poor and helped the economy and was free....looks like things came full circle
Kinda generation war right now
To be fair the current king really brought this on himself, his father was respected by many
There use to be two types of protesters, well there still are two types. Pro-monarch and anti-dictatorship.
It looks similar. I believe the Thailand government knows the political power behind the protest. From Hong Kong!
LONG LIVE THE KING !!LONG LIVE THE KING !! The potesters are tiny. The most Thai people are happy and respect the govern ment and Monachy. Thailand is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world - Twenty years ago it was considered 'daring' to travel to Thailand. Times have certainly changed. From the majestic five-star hotels in Bangkok to simple beach huts in Koh Samui or Koh Samet, accommodation choices are many. From the stunning plains and hills of the Golden Triangle to the wave-lapped white sand beaches of Phuket, Samui and Krabi, the kingdom radiates beauty. Thailand has so much to offer that one visit is never enough - you'll want to come back and discover more time after time.
Salute to this young activists .They are much more braver than gangsters.
Activist destroy human being.. look forward,as what happened to my country Philippines.. where suffered 30 decade because of people power ,this activist destroy the country Thai..I pray to the people of Thai..
FREE PENGUIN, LET THE THAI PEOPLE FEEL FREE.
the youth is the hope of motherland. my sons where are you... your mother needs your help. come to my aide. .Philippine .Peoples power of 1986.
thank you for your support from the phillipines.
67 million people in Thailand yawn while some pretend "students " from the same university are at it again, egged on by bitter old teachers and others with specific agendas. They want to change but never announce who will lead the new team but 67 million people here know who is steering this.
Thailand needs
1. Fresh elections and a new constitution
2. Transparency in loyal affairs
3. Jail Prayuth and his groups for corruption
4. Defund police and military and so on.
Lol who's gonna jail prayuth when he runs the country today with military in his hand? 😂
Nor Priest The people are get him out of his position and the judiciary will jail him. I think.
I'm from the Philippines... this protest happened long time ago here in Philippnes, when they threw out the so called "dictator" Pres. Ferdinand Marcos. The opposition grabbed the seat and they said the democracy had won against dictatorship, but what really happened is that what you see right now in the Philippines... oligarchs arised and so the poverty.
so what? you are the philippines - THIS IS THAILAND. not to compare!
@@coolblack0r3001 not comparing sir. Just stating an example and facts. Hope Thailand find a real democracy and not run by an oligarchs that pretends that they are for "the people"... people whose in charge on the seats can change, when they are in authority and have the power over the people. Again I'm hoping also for a better nation.
He was in jail at the moment for asking for the monarchy reform.
Please Thai people don't be fooled by this oligarchs. Learn from our mistakes who did the same like this. From Philippines.
Problema na nila yan.
Long live left wing. Long live democracy. Keep going Thailand, respect from New Zealand.

Penguin was arrested yesterday evening.
This is true. All protest leaders are now in jail...
Hopefully Thai youth will overcome this. All Great leaders and revolutionary leader has go to jail and their sacrifice lead to peace. They legend live on. Penguin and all other young leaders will get through this jail as well. Just don’t give up your hope and goal.
The reason why he will be put in jail because he is one of Prime minister's enemies. 🔗
Inciting to sedition is a crime
Watch this another side of story
2020: Do whatever
Youths: We want in.

He rude, he lies, and breaks laws but he's a millionaire recently because he got paid to insult the king.
He’s risking way more than jail.
fool... just fool.. the king do nothing.. clearly someone watch too much moive...
Exactly!! Such a brave boy.
Heart of a lion. Massive balls. The kids are alright!
I think Penguin is imprisoned right now for speaking out
@@honeytranful I'm in Bangkok right now, and it appears so. Todays protest starts in 2hrs, and it's spreading. Yesterday there was a protest in my wife's family's village a few hours away!

Is Vietnam a democracy country?
Are you happy with your country's political system today?
SO IMPRESSED BY THIS NEW THI GENERATION ..I THOUGHT IT WILL NEVER COME!!!
Please pay attention to #Whathappeninginthailand in twitter please .. need more attention for it.

Can Penguin do some cooking and house cleaning?

I first went to Thailand in 1985,they had a Military General Prime Minister(Prem) then and in 2020 still have a Military Prime Minister(Prayut).....Nothing Much Changes,these protests etc will end when the Government/Miltary chooses to end it,these protests etc never end well history has shown.
because the country just too unstable... there are too many foregin invest to destablized the country..
Fight on,Thai People!!💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Brave students
the people have spoken
I don't know what to think...Not about the legitimes revendications,but about the reaction from the power in place.I was in Bangkok during the anti sipha acha protest,and I remember snippers on roofs,live ammunitions,busloads of dead and woundeds riding to an unknown (at that time) destination...Sanam Luang,Banglampoo area,democracy monument. Symbolic place,Sanam Luang is the "Field of the King" by the way...So,I really hope that there will be a safe way of this conflict,discussions,decisions,at the people's advantage,because crocodiles never digest the human teeth......
Couldn't we do same in uk

We were all born the same way from our mothers.Following Thailand closely as the great awakening of conciousness grows around the world.There will always be loss changing wrong things in society,but is it not better to do something on your feet than spend all your life on your knees.Authority will always use violent methods against people with valid points because they are programmed to follow orders.This is the time we have arrived at in the journey everything is becoming transparent.
A change is gonna come, hopefully for the better
Salute to these brave young activists who have a vision of what civil society should be like and who will not prostrate themselves in front of a corrupt military government and a monarchy that really needs to be abolished aeons ago!

is thaksin behind this ?

I do not think risk is appropriate word. it should be definitely.
Protesters finally are fading away
I hope it didn't ended up like 1997 Chaos in Indonesia but just like Indonesian Students they need convince the people in power/military that protecting their master/king could harm their position.
PLEASE COVER SUSHANT SINGH RAPUTS case and how the Indian gov is not helping
I saw something weird on TV last night. The Thai King running around Germany without any clothes with his poodle who has now a military rank and a large salary. Is that for real?
Yeah, that's real. And there are still many more awful stories about Thai kings.
@@user-ph5yl8it1s The UK started taxing the Queen's earnings in the 1990s when the Labour Party was in power (not often!) and still continues. Hope Thai laws and freedom of the press prosper... slow but sure lol

Is the country of the people that the king has protected today? Not because of the king?

Not born from the king
Is freedom not enough?
Should have taken the time to protest, come and shop together, find a way for it better.

Martial law ba jan sa thailand ?
By 2022, street protests largely died down, which human rights groups have attributed to heavy suppression and surveillance by the Thai government, although activism has continued online due to being more difficult to prosecute.[1][2]
