    S2E14 Part 2: Escape from Genocide and the World’s Most Secure Detention Prison - Jaivet Ealom

    Jaivet  Ealom is a student at the University of Toronto, an advocate and  writer: his book, Escape from Manus, is now out through Penguin Books  Australia. Born in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), Jaivet gained a  first-hand experience of the persecution of the Rohingya minority to  which he belongs. Making his escape by air and sea, he was detained en  route to Australia and spent four and a half years in an offshore  detention centre on Manus Island, Papua New Guinea. There he witnessed  how a democratically elected government could detain large groups of  refugees indefinitely and without due process. He left the island prison in unusual circumstances, becoming known as  “the only person to escape from the Manus Island Immigration Detention  Centre.” After a period of time in the South Pacific, Jaivet made his  way to the Toronto airport on Christmas Eve of 2017. He joined the  leadership team of the Canadian Rohingya Development Initiative, a  not-for-profit that advocates for the cause of the Rohingya people. He  also enrolled at the University of Toronto, where he is a full-time  student of Economics and Political Science. Motivated by his lived experience of political oppression, Jaivet has  become a staunch advocate of improving the refugee system, particularly  through the use of innovative and scalable solutions. As Manager of  NeedsList, a global crisis coordination relief enterprise, he promotes  the use of technology to bypass institutionally-placed barriers and  shape policy that better meets the needs of refugees. He is also a  member of the Refugee Advisory Network, where he builds upon his  understanding of refugee issues to help develop decision-making  processes that give voice to and address the needs of refugees  worldwide.
