The fellow with the glasses is Dr. Puey Ungpakorn dean of the Faculty of Economics.

Following his protests regarding the 6 October 1976 attrocities – that is the brutaility and killings of students by the military and ultra right wing paramilitaries – Dr Puey was identified as "a communist" and "a destroyer of Thai unity."

He was lucky to escape from Thailand with his life after being met at Don Muang airport with a mob ready to kill him.

On the gray marble bordering to the red granite memorial is written…

"What is most regrettable is that young people now have no third choice. If they cannot conform to the government, they must run away. Those interested in peaceful means to bring about freedom and democracy must restart from square on."
Dr. Puey Ungpakorn, "The Violence of the 6th October 1976"

The relief of the hanging student represents Wichichai Amornkul. He was a Chulalongkorn University student who was hanged on a tree, by ‘ultra-conservative’ sympathisers, in Sanam Luang whilst the university grounds were being stormed by troops.

Other reliefs refer to victims who were dragged, lynched, kicked and stamped on – and allude to those who were shot – by the police, military, and conservative sympathisers.

To see what the 6 October 1976 Massacre Memorial refers to you may want to watch this rather graphic video.
