Why you should listen

Working in Ghana and across the African continent, Anas Aremeyaw Anas is an undercover journalist and private eye. In disguise, he finds his way into asylums, brothels and villages, where he methodically gathers evidence for hard-hitting stories -- then presents the evidence to authorities to see criminals prosecuted.

His work on human trafficking won him the US State Department Hero Award in 2008. In President Barack Obama's 2009 policy address in Ghana, he singled out Anas and commended him as "a courageous journalist who risked his life to report the truth.” His investigation in “Mad House” of a Ghanaian psychiatric ward led to a widespread awareness of mental health issues in Ghana and the passage of the 2012 Ghana Mental Health Act. His exposé of a trafficking ring in “Chinese Sex Mafia” led to three human traffickers receiving a 41-year jail sentence, while "Spell of the Albino," produced as part of Al-Jazeera's Africa Investigates series, led to widespread awareness of a sinister trade in body parts. “Enemies of the Nation,” which uncovered corruption at Ghana’s Tema Harbor, led to the recovery of $200 million in state funds.

Anas was honored as one of Foreign Policy's 2015 Global Thinkers.

00:22

My journey旅程 started开始 14 years年份 ago前.

这段旅程始于14年前

00:26

I was a young年轻 reporter记者. I had just come out of college学院.

3

14293

4412

当时我是个年轻记者，刚从大学毕业

00:30

Then I got a scoop舀.

01:32

Journalism新闻学 is about results结果.

23

新闻报导的重点在于结果

01:34

It's about affecting影响 your community社区 or your society社会

24

在于影响社区或社会

01:38

in the most最 progressive进步 way.

25

以最具成效的方式

01:41

26

89036

01:45

and I can tell you, the results结果 are very good.

27

93594

3232

我可以告诉各位，效果非常棒

01:48

One story故事 that comes来 to mind心神

28

96826

2231

我想起其中一个故事

01:51

in my undercover秘密 pieces件

29

99057

2144

来自我的卧底报导

01:53

is "Spirit精神 Child儿童."

30

101201

2211

标题是〈灵子〉（Spirit Child）

01:55

It was about children孩子 who were born天生 with deformities畸形,

31

103412

4076

内容是关于先天畸形的孩童

01:59

and their其 parents父母 felt毡 that once一旦 they were born天生

32

107488

2745

他们的父母认为一旦孩子先天畸形

02:02

with those deformities畸形,

33

110233

1689

他们的父母认为一旦孩子先天畸形

02:03

they were not good enough足够 to live生活 in the society社会,

34

111922

2123

就不适合生存于这个社会

02:06

so they were given特定 some concoction药汁 to take

35

114045

3108

因此他们被迫服用某种药汁

02:09

and as a result结果 they died死亡.

36

117153

2577

孩子因此丧命

02:11

So I built内置 a prosthetic假肢 baby宝宝,

37

119730

2817

因此我订制了一个假婴儿

02:14

and I went去 into the village村,

38

122547

2150

前往那座村庄

02:16

pretended假装的 as though虽然 this baby宝宝 had been born天生

39

02:27

In their其 bids投标 to kill杀, I got the police警察 on standby支持,

42

43

139093

2540

他们在那个命运的早晨现身，准备杀婴

02:33

to come and kill杀 the child儿童.

44

141633

2836

他们在那个命运的早晨现身，准备杀婴

02:36

I recall召回 how they were seriously认真地 boiling沸腾 the concoction药汁.

45

144469

4019

我记得他们多么认真地烹煮药汁

02:40

They put it on fire火. It was boiling沸腾 hot热,

46

148488

2920

他们将药汁放在炉火上，药汁沸腾着

02:43

getting得到 ready准备 to give to the kids孩子.

47

151408

2472

准备给孩子服用

02:45

Whilst同时 this was going on, the police警察 I had alerted惊动,

48

153880

1975

此时，我事先知会过的警察已在一旁待命

02:47

they were on standby支持,

49

155855

2673

此时，我事先知会过的警察已在一旁待命

02:50

and just as the concoction药汁 was ready准备,

50

158528

3236

就在药汁完成

02:53

and they were about to give it to the kids孩子,

51

161764

3100

准备给孩子服用时

02:56

I phoned打电话给 the police警察,

52

164864

1949

我打电话给警察

02:58

and fortunately幸好 they came来了 and busted破获 them.

53

166813

4169

所幸警察及时赶到，逮捕了他们

03:02

As I speak说话 now, they are before the courts法院.

54

170982

2952

我叙述这个故事的当下，他们正在出庭

03:05

Don't forget忘记 the key键 principles原则:

55

173934

1814

别忘了其中的关键原则：

03:07

naming命名, shaming羞辱 and jailing监禁.

56

175748

2826

揭露罪犯姓名、使其蒙羞、使其入狱

03:10

The court法庭 process处理 is taking服用 place地点,

03:17

2743

他们该去的地方

03:19

Another另一个 key键 story故事 that comes来 to mind心神,

61

187862

2688

我想到另一个重要的故事

03:22

which哪一个 relates涉及 to this spirit精神 child儿童 phenomenon现象,

62

190550

4347

和这个“灵子”现象有关

03:26

is "The Spell拼写 of the Albinos白化病."

63

194897

5476

标题为〈白子诅咒〉（The Spell of the Albinos）

03:32

I'm sure most最 of you may可能 have heard听说, in Tanzania坦桑尼亚,

64

200373

3491

我相信在座大部分人听说过，在坦桑尼亚

03:35

children孩子 who are born天生 with albinism白化病

65

203864

2376

罹患白化症的孩童

03:38

are sometimes有时 considered考虑 as being存在 unfit不适当

66

206240

4053

有时被认为不适合

03:42

to live生活 in society社会.

67

210293

2699

生存于这个社会

03:44

Their其 bodies身体 are chopped切碎的 up with machetes砍刀

68

212992

3888

他们肢体遭弯刀截下

03:48

and are supposed应该 to be used for some concoctions调酒

69

216880

3328

或许被用于制作药汁

03:52

or some potions药水 for people to get money钱 --

70

220208

2882

或供人图利的药剂

03:55

or so many许多, many许多 stories故事 people would tell about it.

71

223090

3795

或许多人们传言中的用途

03:58

It was time to go undercover秘密 again.

72

226885

2556

是再次卧底的时候了

04:01

So I went去 undercover秘密 as a man who was interested有兴趣

73

229441

3449

因此我展开卧底行动，扮成一位

04:04

in this particular特定 business商业, of course课程.

74

232890

2133

对这门生意感兴趣的人，当然

04:07

Again, a prosthetic假肢 arm臂 was built内置.

75

235023

2570

我再次订制了一条假手臂

04:09

For the first time, I filmed拍摄 on hidden隐 camera相机

76

237593

3579

那是第一次，我用隐藏式摄影机

04:13

the guys who do this, and they were ready准备 to buy购买 the arm臂

77

241172

4744

拍下进行这项交易的人
他们准备购买这条手臂

04:17

and they were ready准备 to use it to prepare准备

78

245916

2150

准备用它来调制药剂

04:20

those potions药水 for people.

79

248066

3664

准备用它来调制药剂

04:23

I am glad高兴 today今天 the Tanzanian坦桑尼亚 government政府 has taken采取 action行动,

80

251730

3576

我很高兴目前坦桑尼亚政府已采取行动

04:27

but the key键 issue问题 is that the Tanzanian坦桑尼亚 government政府

81

255306

3142

但关键问题在于，坦桑尼亚政府

04:30

could only take action行动 because the evidence证据 was available可得到.

82

258448

4189

只能在证据确凿的情况下采取行动

04:34

My journalism新闻学 is about hard硬 core核心 evidence证据.

83

262637

3895

我的报导正是关于核心证据

04:38

If I say you have stolen被盗, I show显示 you the evidence证据

84

266532

2399

如果我指控你偷窃，我会展示你偷窃的证据

04:40

that you have stolen被盗.

85

268931

1503

如果我指控你偷窃，我会展示你偷窃的证据

04:42

I show显示 you how you stole偷了 it

86

270434

2317

我会揭露你偷窃的方法

04:44

and when, or what you used

87

272751

1720

偷窃的时间、工具和目的

04:46

what you had stolen被盗 to do.

88

274471

2268

偷窃的时间、工具和目的

04:48

What is the essence本质 of journalism新闻学 if it doesn't benefit效益 society社会?

89

276739

4570

如果新闻报导
对社会没有好处，有何存在的必要？

04:53

My kind类 of journalism新闻学 is a product产品

90

281309

2444

我的报导源于我的社会

04:55

of my society社会.

91

283753

Many许多 times时, the prison监狱 authorities当局 have denied否认

157

493397

3372

无数次地，狱方矢口否认

08:28

2548

存在毒品滥用问题

08:31

3980

存在鸡奸问题
他们否认太多曾经发生过的事

08:35

160

503297

1450

存在鸡奸问题
他们否认太多曾经发生过的事

08:36

How can you obtain获得 the hard硬 core核心 evidence证据?

161

504747

3364

如何才能取得核心证据？

08:40

So I was in the prison监狱. ["NsawanNsawan Prison监狱"]

162

508111

3900

因此我进了监狱〈Nsawan监狱〉

08:44

Now, what you are seeing眼看 is a pile桩 of dead死 bodies身体.

3082

狱中的问题包括伙食极差

09:02

as I recall召回 that some of the food餐饮 I ate吃

168

530546

4910

我记得有些食物

09:07

is just not good for a human人的 being存在.

535456

4261

并不适合人类食用

09:11

Toilet厕所 facilities设备: very bad坏.

170

539717

4151

厕所设备：非常差

09:15

I mean, you had to queue队列 to get proper正确 toilets洗手间 to attend出席 --

171

543868

4393

我指的是，你得排队才能用到象样的厕所

09:20

and that's what I call proper正确,

172

548292

2716

我所谓的象样是指

09:23

when four四 of us are on a manhole沙井.

173

551008

3409

四人合用一个茅坑

09:26

It is something that if you narrate叙事 it to somebody谁,

174

554417

3740

这是即使说给某个人听

09:30

the person人 wouldn't不会 believe it.

175

558157

1834

那个人也不会相信的情况

09:31

The only way that you can let the person人 believe

176

559991

2206

使那个人相信的唯一办法就是

09:34

is when you show显示 hard硬 core核心 evidence证据.

177

562197

2112

让他目睹核心证据

09:36

Of course课程, drugs毒品 were abundant丰富.

178

564309

3128

当然，毒品随处可见

09:39

It was easier更轻松 to get cannabis麻, heroin海洛因 and cocaine可卡因,

179

567437

2745

在监狱里取得大麻、海洛因和古柯碱

09:42

faster更快 even, in the prison监狱 than outside外 the prison监狱.

180

570182

3703

甚至比外面更快、更容易

09:45

Evil邪恶 in the society社会 is an extreme极端 disease疾病.

181

573885

4711

社会中的邪恶是一种重病

09:50

If you have extreme极端 diseases疾病,

182

578596

1922

如果罹患重病

09:52

you need to get extreme极端 remedies补救措施.

183

580518

2927

就必须下重药

09:55

1682

09:59

186

587861

3448

但我可以告诉各位，它适用于我所在的

10:03

of Africa非洲, because usually平时, when people talk

187

591309

2208

非洲地区，因为人们谈到贪污时
通常会问，“证据在哪里？”

10:05

about corruption腐败, they ask问, "Where is the evidence证据?

188

593517

2725

非洲地区，因为人们谈到贪污时
通常会问，“证据在哪里？”

10:08

Show显示 me the evidence证据."

189

10:16

You see, we on the continent大陆 are able能够

192

604209

3520

你们知道，在我身处的非洲

10:19

to tell the story故事 better because we face面对 the conditions条件

193

607729

2584

10:22

and we see the conditions条件.

194

610313

2400

看清局势

10:24

That is why I was particularly尤其 excited兴奋

195

612713

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Anas Aremeyaw Anas - Undercover journalist
Anas Aremeyaw Anas is a Ghanaian undercover journalist and private eye who gathers hard evidence of crime and corruption, putting the perpetrators behind bars.

Why you should listen

Working in Ghana and across the African continent, Anas Aremeyaw Anas is an undercover journalist and private eye. In disguise, he finds his way into asylums, brothels and villages, where he methodically gathers evidence for hard-hitting stories -- then presents the evidence to authorities to see criminals prosecuted.

His work on human trafficking won him the US State Department Hero Award in 2008. In President Barack Obama's 2009 policy address in Ghana, he singled out Anas and commended him as "a courageous journalist who risked his life to report the truth.” His investigation in “Mad House” of a Ghanaian psychiatric ward led to a widespread awareness of mental health issues in Ghana and the passage of the 2012 Ghana Mental Health Act. His exposé of a trafficking ring in “Chinese Sex Mafia” led to three human traffickers receiving a 41-year jail sentence, while "Spell of the Albino," produced as part of Al-Jazeera's Africa Investigates series, led to widespread awareness of a sinister trade in body parts. “Enemies of the Nation,” which uncovered corruption at Ghana’s Tema Harbor, led to the recovery of $200 million in state funds.

Anas was honored as one of Foreign Policy's 2015 Global Thinkers.
