Shami Chakrabarti with Kate Mosse (2015 Event)

A day after Shami Chakrabarti joined the campaigning organisation
Liberty, New York’s Twin Towers were attacked. Ever since, she
has fought a passionate campaign for human rights in the face of
ASBOs, control orders and the War on Terror. In her book On
Liberty, Chakrabarti argues that national security should never
compromise human rights and vows to continue the battle against
violations such as slavery and gender inequality. She discusses
her work and campaigning with acclaimed author Kate Mosse in an
event recorded live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
