'The Most Dangerous Woman in Britain' 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. Chaired by Kate Mosse. Part of our Human Rights Now series of events.
