Narrative:
After arriving in sat, I parked the aircraft with the parking brake handle in the full up position and checked the parking brake light on in the adjacent annunciator. I then turned off the fasten seat belt sign. On calling for the right engine to be shut down, I closed the right fuel control shutoff lever. I was looking for the external power light to come on when I heard a thug and looked up to see the aircraft moving. I immediately stopped the aircraft with the brakes. I reset the parking, and it appeared to be working normally. I later found out the thug I heard was the ground personnel placing a wheel chock under the wheels to stop the aircraft from moving. I was informed by my #1 flight attendant that 3 passenger were claiming injuries.
