When Behrouz Boochani, Kurdish-Iranian human rights activist/journalist was in the Australian-run refugee detention camp in Manus Island, Papua New Guinea he used his smartphone to secretly write over 100 articles, a book – the award-winning “No Friend but the Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison” – and a film “Chauka, Please Tell Us the Time.” In this way he was able to expose the AU government’s disastrous human rights policy. He will be joined by his longtime collaborator and translator Dr. Omid Tofighian to discuss how migrants, displaced and exiled people can tell their own stories to influence governments and communities.
