Over the past decade I have been proud to work alongside him in many different campaigns, witnessing his continued principled commitment to stand by the oppressed of this earth in the fight for freedom and justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isham Rais, Malaysian film director, stand-up comedian, political and social activist, and FORSEA co-founder wrote, \u201cI have known Zarni \u2013 The Enemy of the State \u2013 via FORSEA \u2013 an academician \u2013 a solid Public Intellectual \u2013 a thoroughbred activist not only for Myanmar but for the human race. He raised the Rohingya issue globally and stood up for the rights of the Palestinians \u2013 yes he is the enemy of oppression.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dato Sri Saifuddin Abdullah, Malaysian member of parliament, former Foreign Minister and Chairman of Parti BERSATU\u2019 International Bureau said, \u201cZarni is an activist-academic who is very committed to the struggle of the Myanmar people to uphold freedom, human rights and democracy. His approach is consultative and inclusive, with a clear people-centred end game. He does not limit his works only for his countrymen and women, but extended it to the oppressed around the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Zarni<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maung Zarni (60) is co-founder and coordinator of several international activist networks and platforms, including the Free Burma Coalition (1995-2004), the FORSEA (2018 \u2013 present) and the Free Rohingya Coalition (2018-present). He now serves as an adviser to Burma\u2019s oldest ethnic resistance organisation, the Karen National Union (founded in 1947).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zarni was born and raised in Mandalay (Burma) in an extended military family to an educator mother and socially conscious businessman father under General Ne Win\u2019s \u201csocialist\u201d military dictatorship. As a young teenager, he learned community organising from his parents who led self-help communal initiatives for their residential neighbourhood. In July 1988, on the eve of the nationwide uprisings known as 8.8.88 (after the uprising date 8 August 1988), Zarni left his native Myanmar for California, USA where he enrolled as a foreign student on a Non-resident Tuition Scholarship offered by the Graduate Division of the University of California at Davis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his 17-years as an asylee in the US, Zarni held a tenure-track assistant professorship in educational foundations at National-Louis University in Chicago, a position he gave up to be a full-time activist based in Berkeley, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2005, Zarni relocated to the United Kingdom as a visiting research fellow in the Department of International Development at Oxford University, in hopes of resuming his academic career. He subsequently worked as an associate professor of Asian Studies at the Universiti Brunei Darussalem, but resigned over censorship of his public engagement on the Burmese genocide of Rohingya. Post-resignation, he also declined an offer of a Scholars-at-risk fellowship at the London School of Economics in 2014 to do anti-genocide activism full-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His wife, British scholar Dr Natalie Brinham, is a senior research associate with the Migration Mobilities Bristol, a specialist research institute at the University of Bristol. Together, they co-authored a groundbreaking 3-year study \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/digitalcommons.law.uw.edu\/wilj\/vol23\/iss3\/8\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Slow-Burning Genocide of Myanmar\u2019s Rohingya<\/a>\u201d published by the University of Washington School of Law in 2014. The couple live in Kent, with their daughter Nilah (14), where both pursue their scholarship and activism on genocides, including Israel\u2019s ongoing genocide in Gaza and the continuing genocidal conditions of Rohingya in Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally, Maung Zarni often writes from Prothom Alo, Bangladesh&#8217;s leading newspaper in print and online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Prothom Alo, Published on April 16, 2024 Northern Irish peace activist Mairead Corrigan Maguire, recipient of the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize, has nominated the UK-exiled Burmese human rights activist <\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/freerohingyacoalition.org\/en\/burmese-activist-maung-zarni-nominated-by-nobel-laureate-maguire-for-2024-peace-prize\/\" class=\"read-more\">continue reading<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2770,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mbp_gutenberg_autopost":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-the-news"],"rise-blocks_total_comments":0,"rise-blocks_categories":[{"term_id":11,"name":"In the News","slug":"in-the-news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":11,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":136,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":11,"category_count":136,"category_description":"","cat_name":"In the News","category_nicename":"in-the-news","category_parent":0}],"rise-blocks_excerpt":"By Prothom Alo, Published on April 16, 2024 Northern Irish peace activist Mairead Corrigan Maguire, recipient of the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize, has nominated the UK-exiled Burmese human rights activist and genocide scholar Dr Maung Zarni for the prestigious prize in 2024.
