I’m an international human rights lawyer and researcher, focused on policing, national security and racial justice, and Visiting Fellow at the Institute of Postcolonial Studies.

I have worked for Amnesty International, Open Society Foundations and ActionAid International, among other organisations. My work has included writing a leading guide to investigating racial profiling, researching human rights abuses in Turkey and Western Europe, and running a successful campaign to free a Syrian man unfairly convicted on terrorism charges. I co-founded COVID State Watch, a project documenting and visualising the exercise of emergency powers during the Covid-19 pandemic, which received support from the Centre for Applied Human Rights.

​

When I'm not working, I'm usually busy with some form of political and community organising, from door-knocking to direct action.

​

I received my BA from Oxford University and my Masters in Law from SOAS. I'm qualified as a solicitor in England & Wales and am currently based in London.
