Amnesty International - Hammersmith and Fulham Group is pleased to announce a public talk with Rob Evans, journalist with the Guardian newspaper since 1999. He will be speaking about his book;

Undercover - The True Story of Britain's Secret Police (http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/undercover-the-true-story-of-britains-secret-police-talk-by-rob-evans-tickets-17305883363?aff=es2)

Undercover reveals the truth about secret police operations - the emotional turmoil, the psychological challenges and the human cost of a lifetime of deception – and asks whether such tactics can ever be justified.

Rob Evans and Paul Lewis have written a book that reveals gripping stories of a group of police spies and the uncovering of forty years of state espionage. This was an undercover operation so secret that some of our most senior police officers had no idea it existed. The job of the clandestine unit was to monitor British 'subversives' - environmental activists, anti-racist groups, animal rights campaigners.

Police stole the identities of dead people to create fake passports, driving licences and bank accounts. They then went deep undercover for years, inventing whole new lives so that they could live incognito among the people they were spying on. They used sex, intimate relationships and drugs to build their credibility. They betrayed friends, deceived lovers, even fathered children. And their operations continue today.

The talk will take pace in the Main Hall building at the very front of the school facing King Street. You can RSVP via meet up and pay cash at the door on the night. All funds raised go to our campaigning activities, including the Stop Torture campaign.

Please note that seating is limited and we are publicising this event via various channels outside of Meetup. This means that the actual number of attendees shown here will be significantly less than the real number attending. I will update the current number of attendees in the comment section on a regular basis.
