Amnesty International presents Conor Gearty (London School of Economics), Clara Gutteridge (Reprieve) and Richard Boyd Barrett (Irish Anti-War movement) at a public talk to discuss the “war on terror”.

Human rights are under threat. After the tragic events of 11 September 2001 in the US, human rights have come under attack in a way unimaginable a few years ago. In the new security climate, governments have undermined international human rights standards that protect people from abuse. Some use it as an excuse to persecute their political opponents. Some use it as an excuse to torture. Torture does not stop terror. Torture is terror.

Don’t ignore it. You can stop it. Join us to find out more.
