Description

Welcome to Legal Frontiers, a podcast channel created by the University of Bristol Law School. Legal Frontiers puts the spotlight on how our academics are shaping a better world by leading the way in some of the most innovative areas of legal research.   In our first series, we delve into the incredible story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who was detained at the notorious Guantánamo Bay detention camp, without charge, for over a decade.  We hear Mohamedou’s story as extracts from an event hosted by the University of Bristol’s Human Rights Implementation Centre to mark the shameful 20th anniversary of the facilities existence – an event that also put the spotlight on the significant role Bristol researchers have played in reducing incidence of torture around the world.  Mohammedi’s defence lawyer, Nancy Hollander and Professor Sir Malcolm Evans, joined Mohamedou on stage and continue the conversation in this series.
