Tsi Conrad

Tsi Conrad is an award-winning filmmaker, investigative journalist, and author currently recognized by the international community as a Prisoner of Conscience.

Following his arrest in 2016 for documenting social truths in Cameroon's Anglophone Crisis, Conrad was sentenced to 15 years by a military tribunal in Yaounde, a conviction formally denounced by the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. His case has been a focal point for global advocacy by Amnesty International, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Freedom House, and PEN America, Media Legal Defense

Writing from within the walls of the notorious Kondengui Central Prison, Conrad has transformed his confinement into a literary mission. He is the creator of The Kondengui Chronicles, a book series that serves as a prove of the unbreakable human spirit. His works, ranging from raw poetry written in his cell to tactical "Resilience" manuals offer a roadmap for anyone navigating their own "dark night of the soul." Or difficult moments.

Conrad’s mission is simple. To prove that while a regime can shackle a body, it can never imprison a mind. Through his writing, he continues to be a voice for the silenced and a beacon for those seeking strength in the face of injustice.
