‘Prevent’, human rights and data protection – RSI Event at Garden Court Chambers

In October 2022, Rights & Security International (RSI) hosted a panel event at Garden Court Chambers discussing the UK’s ‘Prevent’ counter-extremism strategy, with a moderated panel conversation followed by audience Q&A.

We covered how Prevent is impacting human rights for everyone, throughout the country – and what can be done about it.

With many thanks to our moderator and speakers:

Layla Aitlhadj (Prevent Watch)

Hil Aked (MedAct)
