Thirayuth Boonmee ((タイ語:ธีรยุทธ บุญมี), ; born 1950) is a Thai public intellectual and a former student activist. ==Student leader== While a student at Chulalongkorn University during 1973, Thirayuth led the National Student Center of Thailand (NSCT) in coordinating political activism against the military dictatorship of Thanom Kittikachorn and Praphas Charusathien. The NSCT led tens of thousands in public protests against the regimes. However, one of the earliest activities of the NSCT had been a 10-day boycott against Japanese products, in protest against Japanese investments in Thailand. In 6 October 1973, Thirayuth and 12 other student activists were arrested by the Praphas government for sedition, after they had distributed leaflets demanding a new constitution. Rumors spread that they had been killed, which sparked massive anti-government protests. The demonstrations reached their peak on 13 October, when about 400,000 protestors gathered in front of the Democracy Monument and the parliament building. That afternoon, Thirayuth and the other students were released, and the King approved plans to draft a new constitution within 12 months. Thirayuth also played a role in exposing the Internal Security Operations Command's role in a massacre of villagers at Ban Na Sai village in the Northeast. After the student massacre at Thammasat University on 6 October 1976, Thirayuth, as well as many other students and intellectuals fled from the cities to take refuge with the Communist Party of Thailand (CPT) in its jungle strongholds. Thirayuth increasingly became critical of the King, noting in a broadcast on 1 April 1977 that the monarchy was "obsolete and deteriorating," and that "I think that if our people were to destroy it, there would be no adverse effects." After the CPT dissolved itself in the early 1980s, Thirayuth returned to the mainstream of Thai intellectual life, renouncing socialism and rejecting his anti-monarchical statements.() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thirayuth Boonmee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
