    Abstract
    Using a biographical approach, this chapter analyses why Carmel Budiardjo, a British-born woman of Jewish background, became a transnational activist. It examines her life during the Second World War and its aftermath and the transnational camaraderie she developed through her participation in the International Union of Students. The chapter also examines how her critical engagement with politics following her move to Indonesia, and her subsequent imprisonment because of her alleged ties with the Indonesian Communist Party, shaped her activism upon release and return to Britain to free Indonesian political prisoners.
