Projects

Liberty Investigates exposes human rights abuses in the UK across several areas of high public interest. Here’s a snippet of what we’re looking into – but this list doesn’t cover everything, so if you have a human rights story that doesn’t fit these categories, please still get in touch.

Facial recognition technology

We are committed to reporting on the mass scale up of facial recognition technology across the UK, as well as other surveillance technologies.

Policing

We expose discriminatory policing practices, particularly the police’s treatment of people of colour and police responses to serious youth violence.

Protest

Our team is holding the government, police and other institutions to account over the right to protest, and recent restrictions to those rights.

Detention and the asylum system

We worked for a long time on the hidden world of immigration removal centres, where thousands of people are detained each year, as well as those living in government asylum accommodation such as hotels. This project culminated in the Asylum Seeker Memorial Project.
