Phantom Parrot Film Screening and Q&A with ORG Glasgow's Jennifer Breslin

ORG is teaming up with the filmmakers of the documentary film Phantom Parrot. Phantom Parrot is the code name for data covertly downloaded from mobile devices under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act without its owner’s knowledge or consent. The film tells the story of Muhammad Rabbani, a human rights activist returning to the UK, who has his electronic devices confiscated by border authorities.

ORG’s recent report into the Prevent programme uncovered that people referred under the scheme can then be targeted at the border for an ‘intelligence led’ seizure of their mobile phone data.

Following the screening there will be a Q&A session that Jennifer Breslin will be participating in on behalf of ORG Glasgow. If you’re interested in digital rights issues and live in or around Glasgow then we highly recommend attending this screening.

To attend this event you will need to purchase a ticket from the cinema.
