Sean is an Australian economist but has spent much of his career in Myanmar. Most recently, he was the economic advisor to Aung Sun Suu Kyi, the former leader of Myanmar. In 2021, following a military coup which overthrew Suu Kyi and the democratically elected government, Sean was arrested and illegally imprisoned by the junta. He wouldn’t see freedom for another 650 days. Sean has recently released a book about his plight called An Unlikely Prisoner.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1, I encourage you to go and listen to the previous episode first.
