鳴個喇叭！緬甸街EP 56 - 反抗進行式！緬甸，最後一搏 ft. 緬甸人權家 懷恩寧 Wai Hnin（ENG）今天這集 Podcast 是緬甸政變二週年系列 Podcast 的最後一集。做政變主題以來，我們曾經訪問過記者、緬甸運動參與者、學生、NGO 工作者，大多都是從在台灣的緬甸移民或社群關注者的角度，去了解緬甸政變的發展。 不過，今天這集的來賓非常特別、也是一位非常重量級的人物，他是 Wai Hnin Pwint Thon（中譯「懷恩寧」），是一位重要的緬甸人權倡議者。目前任職在 Burma Campaign UK，十多年來，她一直積極往返歐美與亞洲倡議緬甸人權和民主發展。 會開始從事人權倡議工作，跟懷恩寧的父親有很大的關聯。她的父親 Ko Mya Aye 是緬甸 88 世代學生民主運動的領導人之一，是一位著名的人權運動家。在懷恩寧的童年生活，父親是缺席的，在他記憶之中，第一次見到父親是在仰光的監獄會客室，高大老舊的建築、周圍還有著武裝嚴密的軍警。 在這樣的家庭成長，並沒有阻卻懷恩寧對於民主與人權的追求。2007 年因為番紅花運動，家人決定送懷恩寧到英國讀書，成為他從事人權工作的開端。同樣身為政治犯的家屬，懷恩寧投入大量時間為緬甸政治犯的權益奔走，讓國際社會能關注他們的案件，並對緬甸壓迫性的法律進行了深入研究。 從 8888 運動到緬甸春季革命，或是更準確的說，從他出生在這個家開始，對懷恩寧來說，反抗一直都是進行式。 🚩 本集前半由喇叭女子以中文前情提要，後半部為全英文訪談。這次提供中英文對照的逐字稿，歡迎大家參考閱讀 👉 https://hackmd.io/@mpculture/ep56script （本集節目逐字稿使用 ai 聽打與翻譯，翻譯內容不完全精準，若有翻譯不正確或語句不通順之處，歡迎大家一同共筆修改。） 🚩 本集節目是與 #慢工文化 的特別合作，慢工 2/1 正式發行新書《緬甸，最後一搏》，邀請大家加入我們，成為一起聲援緬甸的力量 💪 ✊ 《緬甸，最後一搏》新書官網：www.sloworkpublishing.com/myanmar_the_last_stand/ 🎤 關鍵字搜尋「緬甸街」，你可以在六個音樂平台找到《鳴個喇叭！緬甸街》Apple/ Spotify/ Google/SoundOn/ Soundcloud/ KKBOX 🚩 收聽平台：https//linktr.ee/mpculture Powered by Firstory Hosting2023-02-1852 min
