According to the Uncommon International Group (UNG), which encourages students to participate in social change, and the Association of Students in Thailand, there have been over 100 cases of students being intimidated by schools and teachers after coming out to protest against the government. UNG also asked the ministry to punish teachers and other education personnel who hit students for expressing their political stance. "Our group still receives more and more complaints from students being harassed or prevented from expressing their political views," he said. "Adults should respect the civil rights of students and realise that they have minds of their own," Mr Narubet said. "Unlike people of older generations, [students] have the technological means to find out what they want to know."
