Podcasts about boochani

Kurdish-Iranian journalist Behrouz Boochani was imprisoned on Manus Island for over six years, and during that time he became acutely aware that oppression takes root when people look away. He was determined to use his sharpest weapon – his words – to survive, and to expose Australia's inhumane treatment of asylum seekers. Now, in 2023, not only is Boochani free, he's also a multi-award-winning author, documentary maker, humanitarian and scholar. His words, and those of other writers and activists, have changed lives, his own included. And they've helped keep us accountable. A scholar of Middle Eastern and Islamic studies, Kylie Moore-Gilbert also spent years unjustly imprisoned in unimaginable conditions. Invited on a study tour of Iran in 2018, Moore-Gilbert was falsely accused of espionage and imprisoned for more than 800 days, including seven months in solitary confinement – before her ultimate release through an Australian-brokered prisoner exchange. Boochani and Moore-Gilbert come together for this special event, presented by PEN Melbourne and the Wheeler Centre to mark the Day of the Imprisoned Writer. With host Karen Percy, these remarkable survivors share their powerful stories, and reflect on the role of writing to shine a light in the darkest places. This event was presented in partnership with PEN Melbourne.It was recorded on Tuesday 14 November 2023 at The Wheeler Centre. The official bookseller was the Sun Bookshop. Featured music is ‘Living in a Fantasy' by Pulsed.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(00:44) Europa en het Australische vluchtelingenmodel Om asielzoekers te weren maakt Europa afspraken met landen in Afrika om vluchtelingen daar al tegen te houden. Dat model lijkt te zijn afgekeken van Australië, waar bootvluchtelingen jarenlang werden vastgehouden op afgelegen eilanden. Behrouz Boochani was één van hen. Tijdens zijn gevangenschap bracht hij in het geheim de verschrikkingen van het kamp via whatsapp naar buiten. Vier jaar geleden maakte de VPRO een audiobewerking van zijn boek: 'Berichten uit Manus Prison'. Zondag komt Boochani in Nederland, Edwin Koopman sprak met hem. (09:49) Japan verbiedt het stiekem maken van seksuele filmpjes Stiekem foto's en filmpjes maken onder iemands rok. Dat wordt ook wel upskirting of sluipfotografie genoemd. In Japan is dit uitgegroeid tot een groot probleem waar vooral vrouwen en kinderen slachtoffer van worden. De regering wil er een stokje voor steken en komt met een landelijk verbod. Wat betekent dat voor de positie van vrouwen in Japan? Heeft de #metoo-beweging voet aan de grond gekregen in het land? Te gast is Anoma van der Veere, Japan-correspondent.

Australia correspondent Annika Smethurst joins Kathryn to talk about the meeting yesterday between Chris Hipkins and his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese, the decision by Green MP Lidia Thorpe to quit her party over divisions on the Voice to Parliament and the return to Australia of award-winning author and refugee advocate Behrouz Boochani.

Kurdish-Iranian refugee and award-winning writer Behrouz Boochani delivered the 2022 Wallace Wurth Lecture at UNSW Sydney on Tuesday 13 December, sharing why a human narrative is integral to fighting Australia's current refugee policies. Boochani, who is an adjunct associate professor at UNSW, spent over six years in offshore immigration detention in Manus Detention Centre, where he and his fellow asylum seekers endured conditions that violated international refugee law. His new book, Freedom, Only Freedom, is a collection of his prison writings, translated and edited by his long-time translators and collaborators Omid Tofighian and Moones Mansoubi. Mr Boochani's work is combined with essays from experts on migration, refugee rights, politics, and literature. Following an introduction by Sarah Dale (RACS), Omid Tofighian and Moones Mansoubi, Boochani is in conversation with human rights lawyer Madeline Gleeson sharing his stories of resilience and shed light on the shameful refugee policies that the Australian government continues to endorse. Freedom, Only Freedom can be purchased here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Kurdish Iranian writer now living in New Zealand says the government needs to do more regarding the actions of Iran's government. Two New Zealanders are understood to have been detained for months after entering Iran in July. They left Iran yesterday. Behrouz Boochani, who was granted refugee status in New Zealand in July 2020, says New Zealand should speak out loudly against the Iranian regime. He spoke to Corin Dann.

Australia's leading Indigenous intercultural dance company Marrugeku is presenting a musical play from 27 – 29 January 2022. The musical dance draws on themes from the (multi-award-winning) autobiographical novel No Friend but the Mountains, Writing from Manus Prison (2018) identified by the book's collaborator Kurdish-Iranian journalist and filmmaker Behrouz Boochani. Themes in the musical play include Kurdish music and dance. The play also reflects on life inside Australian immigration and detention centres. We speak to Mr Boochani about his involvement in the play and why was he approached by the director of the musical play.

After fleeing from Iran in 2013, Kurdish-Iranian journalist Behrouz Boochani became a political prisoner, detained indefinitely in legal limbo in the Australian-run Manus Regional Processing Centre, Papua New Guinea. On a smuggled mobile phone, he chronicled six years of survival and witness, tapped out in Farsi in a series of single messages, and subsequently translated into English by Omid Tofighian. The result, Boochani's against-all-odds 'No Friend But The Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison', has been much feted, winning Australia's richest literary prize – the Victorian Prize for Literature – as well as a host of other awards. The Age called it an “...intense, lyrical and psychologically perceptive prose-poetry masterpiece”. Now resident in New Zealand, Boochani speaks with Julie Hill. Supported by Platinum Patrons Carol & Gerard Curry. AUCKLAND WRITERS FESTIVAL WAITUHI O TĀMAKI 2021

Composer Luke Styles, Kurdish-Iranian journalist Behrouz Boochani and translator and collaborator Omid Tofighian join Richard ahead of ‘No Friend but the Mountains: A Symphonic Song Cycle’ premiering at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Inspired by Boochani’s book of the same name written secretly in Farsi whilst on Manus Island, this adaptation explores his brutal detention experience through the language of music. Susan Provan, CEO of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival speaks about the challenges of returning to the stage after the cancellation of last year’s festival just weeks before its launch. The 2021 program will feature local acts front and centre, as well as an array of online and on demand streaming events from much loved international names. Meg McNena, writer of ‘A Name for Herself’, talks about her new play following the women at the forefront of Ireland’s Easter Rising of 1916. Based on the true story of Irish activist Countess Constance Markievicz, the play is directed by Dublin-born Lynda Fleming, and premieres at the Renaissance Theatre, East Kew.Finally, Eugenia Flynn, Director of Collingwood Yards unveils the new arts precinct and community hub located in the heart of Melbourne’s inner north. Spanning over 6500sqm and with over 50 separate tenancies, the space will open in stages from April this year.

Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani fled his Iranian homeland for Australia in 2013. Instead of offering a safe haven, the Australian government interned him and other refugees on the island of Manus far out in the Pacific. Here he witnessed hunger, torture and suicide. Boochani wrote the whole time, and smuggled out thousands of text messages which formed the basis of the autobiographical No Friends But the Mountains. Recently published in Norwegian, it received great critical acclaim and won Australia's prize for best non-fiction book in 2019 among other awards. Boochani was among the imprisoned authors included in LitFestBergen's postcard campaign in 2019. What sort of reception do asylum-seekers receive in western society today? Via a video link from his new homeland of New Zealand, Boochani meets Ann-Magrit Austenå, former general secretary of the Norwegian Organisation for Asylum Seekers (NOAS) and Kristina Quintano, writer, publisher and human rights activist, for a conversation on flight, prison, freedom and literature. In collaboration with Norwegian PEN.

This week we hear from Behrooz Boochani who is now settled in New Zealand after 6 to 7 years held at Manus.

The National Party is raising further questions about whether refugee journalist Behrouz Boochani should have been allowed into New Zealand in the first place. Boochani, who spent six years in detention on Manus island, has been in the country since November and is believed to have applied for asylum. National immigration spokesperson Stuart Smith told RNZ reporter Gill Bonnett Boochani appears to have been excluded from Australia, making him ineligible to come to New Zealand without a special direction. In a statement, Immigration New Zealand says the immigration minister was made aware of Boochani's visitor visa application but as this was an operational decision the Minister was not involved in the decision. It says its staff assess whether applicants truly intend a temporary stay, but would not comment further for legal and privacy reasons. RNZ has contacted the immigration minister, Iain Lees-Galloway, whose office said he was not involved in the decision. The Australian Department of Home Affairs confirmed it is the Australian Government's policy that anyone who attempts to come to Australia illegally by boat will never settle there.

Verb Wellington and WORD Christchurch, in association with Amnesty International, present Behrouz Boochani: No Friend but the Mountains. In December 2019, WORD Christchurch and Verb Wellington joined together to present a very special event in Wellington with Behrouz Boochani and novelist Lloyd Jones, whose novel, The Cage, is a parable inspired by the plight of refugees worldwide. Boochani’s book, No Friend but the Mountains, laboriously tapped out on a mobile phone and translated from Farsi, is a voice of witness, an act of survival. A lyrical first-hand account. A cry of resistance. A vivid portrait through five years of incarceration and exile. Boochani and Jones discussed the craft of writing the book and the extraordinary story of the Australian literary community that rallied around him to secure his freedom. With special thanks to the National Library of New Zealand | Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa, and The Park Hotel for their support of this event.

De Iraans-Koerdische schrijver Behrouz Boochani heeft voor een maand een visum gekregen in Nieuw Zeeland. Voor het eerst in zes jaar kon hij daardoor Papoea Nieuw-Guinea verlaten, waar hij vastzat op Manus, een klein eiland in de Grote Oceaan. Hij was een van de duizenden vluchtelingen die op gammele bootjes op weg naar Australië uit zee werd gevist en vervolgens gevangen zat in afgelegen kampen. In het geheim schreef Boochani een boek over het leven in het kamp. Collega Edwin Koopman maakte er een radiobewerking van. Vanavond het vierde en laatste deel: De Opstand.

Kurdish novelist, journalist and asylum-seeker Behrouz Boochani has arrived in New Zealand after being released from detention on Manus Island.

Anna and Amanda discuss the long-list for the 2019 Miles Franklin Award, including a shock omission. Our book of the week is No Friend But The Mountains by Behrouz Boochani, translated by Omid Tofighian.  This account of Boochani's journey seeking asylum and his detention in Manus Island Prison won the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards for Non-Fiction and Literature and the New South Wales Premier's Special Award. It was written by text messages on a mobile phone.  Boochani is still on Manus Island.  Described as a 'tour de force' (The Saturday Paper); a 'shattering book' (Benjamin Law); and 'unforgettable' (Australian Financial Review), this is a must-read.

  Ever wondered what it is like to be a refugee held in offshore immigration detention? In No Friend But The Mountains Behrouz Boochani masterfully takes us into the core of the ghastly system. After reading his poetic descriptions of locations within the Manus Regional Processing Centre I can almost feel the atmosphere there through my skin. Radio producer Ros Elliot embarked on a project to record some excerpts from the book to play on her radio program The Bubble broadcast from Tribefm 91.1 in South Australia and has kindly allowed my to use those in this podcast. The excerpts are read by Leo Gortz. Between the segments from the book I've added some of my collection of songs about refugees.  MOZ All the Same COMBAT WOMBAT Asylum UNITED STRUGGLE PROJECT Life is A War EYE Refugees PATAPHSYSICS Asylum is a Crime
