Polis has teamed up with the Centre for Investigative Journalism to host a seminar on journalism and human rights on October 20th at 6.30pm.

This event will look at how dictators and corrupt politicians use the global financial system to loot government coffers, accept bribes and spend the proceeds of corruption on a life of luxury.

Robert Palmer and Anthea Lawson from Global Witness will work through a number of case studies – including the recent revelation of which banks held Libyan state funds – explaining the role of the financial sector in facilitating corruption and how to uncover it.

This event, to be held at the LSE,  is free to all. To reserve a place, email us at polis@lse.ac.uk.
