Business Daily meets: Sean Turnell

The university academic was working in Australia when he developed an interest in Myanmar.

He then became an adviser to Aung San Suu Kyi but was jailed for nearly two years by the country’s military regime following the 2021 coup.

Sean Turnell recalls the moment of his arrest and tells us about the harsh conditions he endured – and how books, along with pacing the length of his tiny cell, helped him survive.

He also reflects on Myanmar’s deepening economic crisis – and shares his hopes for the country’s future.
