Event| Kirsten Han: My Journey as a Singaporean Journalist

亞洲公民未來協會致力於連結台灣與東南亞公民社會，共同發展抵禦公民空間緊縮危機的策略。近年來由於區域公民空間緊縮，隨著壓迫性政府持續打壓區域內的公民社會組織與人權捍衛者，新聞自由的空間也持續不斷受到打壓。然而，區域內的人權捍衛者、獨立記者與媒體仍持續發展不同策略以延續他們的工作以捍衛基本人權。 在本次活動中，我們很榮幸邀請到新加坡獨立記者與長期致力於廢除死刑工作的人權捍衛者Kirsten Han 韓俐穎分享她的工作經驗與歷程。這場座談可以讓我們了解一位獨立記者如何在具有挑戰的環境持續採訪與製作具備深度與觀點的議題新聞。 關於講者： Kirsten Han 韓俐穎是一位新家坡的獨立記者與人權捍衛者。除了經營《We, The Citizen》電子報之外，她也是《Mekong Review》的總編輯。此外，Kirsten是新加坡公民社會組織Transformative Justice Collective (TJC）的成員，長期致力於廢除死刑以及終止掃毒戰爭。Kirsten是一位作家，她曾出版《The Singapore I Recognise: Essays on home, community, and hope》、《The Silhouette of Oppression》等書籍。 ________________________________________________________________________________________ The Asia Citizen Future Association (ACFA) is dedicated to connect Taiwan and Southeast Asian civil society to defend civic space. Amid the crisis of shrinking civic space in recent years and repressive governments’ crackdown on civil society organizations and human rights defenders, press freedom in Southeast Asia is facing more and more stifling restriction.
