Shami Chakrabarti

‘On Liberty’ is the story of today’s threats to our freedoms and a highly personal, impassioned plea in defence of fundamental rights, from Shami Chakrabarti, the director of the advocacy group Liberty. Shami Chakrabarti – who joined Liberty, the UK’s leading civil rights organisation, on 10 September 2001 – explores why our fundamental rights and freedoms are indispensable. She shows, too, the unprecedented pressures those rights are under today. Labelled by The Sun as ‘The Most Dangerous Woman in Britain’, Shami will be presenting her lecture in the stunning surrounds of Lady Margaret Hall and will be exploring why our rights to liberty are paramount in upholding democracy. Shami will be in discussion on the evening with Gaby Hinsliff.
