For 650 days Sean Turnell was held in Myanmar’s Insein Prison on the trumped-up charge of being a spy. Today Sean joins the podcast to share his incredible story.
In our chat he recounts how he went from being a very cheerful university professor to life in one of the most notorious prisons in South-East Asia. 

Sean shares:
-How the military coup in Myanmar led to him being arrested 
-What life was like inside the 'box' that he was imprisoned in
-What he did to remain sane for the 650 days
-How his wife campaigned tirelessly for his release
-Whether he lives in fear now after sharing his experiences of the Myanmar Military so publicly
-The suffering of the people of Myanmar under a bestial regime that a lot of the world doesn't know about

We were absolutely gripped by Sean's story and still don't understand how he remains so positive! If you'd like to read Sean's book and learn more of his story you can grab it here!
