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.

 

Detention and the asylum system

We’re looking deep inside 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.

Mass surveillance, including facial recognition technology

Our reporters are following the use of mass surveillance technologies, including facial recognition in the public and private spheres.

Policing

We will 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.

The Hostile Environment

We have worked to uncover the many impacts of the hostile environment, from data-sharing to the withholding of healthcare from destitute migrants.
