Why are Thai students risking jail to call for reform of the monarchy?

BBC World Service - The Inquiry, Why are Thai students risking jail to call for reform of the monarchy?

What's driving Thailand's new wave of pro-democracy protests?

In Thailand, criticising the monarchy is a criminal offence. So why are so many students risking it all by publicly calling for reform?
