穿著黑衣的年輕人在街頭疾聲呼喊；培訓學生了解人權議題與社會運動；為了和平唸詩、放映紀錄片...
他們是活力生猛的馬來西亞青年社運團體「MANDIRI」。在社會趨向保守化的困境中，他們選擇相信與支持年輕人的力量，組織與培育青年成為社會改革的種子，串連馬來西亞各地大學，更建立屬於社運青年的基地，投入反對警察暴力、威權、不平等的運動。
他們是怎麼做到的？這股力量又為馬來西亞社會帶來什麼影響？在如此艱難的環境，青年要發展出足夠推動社會改革的批判與行動力，仰賴什麼樣的土壤與養分？本場座談邀請到MANDIRI共同創辦人Mohamad Alshatri分享他們的經驗與心路歷程。
關於講者：
Mohamad Alshatry曾任馬來西亞人權團體「人民之聲（SUARAM）」資深協調員，期間領導多項針對警方濫權的運動，並倡議推動設立獨立警察投訴和不當行為委員會（IPCMC）。
他是人權團體「MANDIRI」的共同創辦人，積極參與公共運動、政策參與及公民教育計劃，致力於加強民主機構和推進社會正義。他擁有豐富的人權倡議和政策改革經驗，其工作聚焦於馬來西亞的機構問責、民主治理及公民自由問題。
Amid a society turning increasingly conservative, MANDIRI, a Malaysian youth activist group, has chosen to believe in and support the power of young people. They organize and empower youth and student activists, connecting universities across Malaysia and building a space for movement activists. They join struggles against police brutality, authoritarianism, and inequality.
How did they do it? What impact has this movement brought to Malaysian society? In such challenging conditions, in order for youth to develop the critical consciousness and capacity to drive social change, what exactly are the necessary environment, resources, and networks? This talk invites Mohamad Alshatri, co-founder of MANDIRI, to share their experiences and journey.
