On Liberty Audiobook (Free)

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of On Liberty, written and browse by Shami Chakrabarti.

On 11 September 2001, the world changed. The West’s response to 9/11 has morphed into a period of exemption. Governments are determined that the guideline of regulation and human privileges are often too costly.

In On Liberty, Shami Chakrabarti – who joined Liberty, the UK’s leading civil legal rights company, on 10 September 2001 – explores why our fundamental legal rights and freedoms are indispensable. She displays, too, the unprecedented pressures those privileges are under today. Drawing on her personal function in high-profile promotions, from privacy laws and regulations to anti-terror legislation, Chakrabarti shows the threats to your democratic institutions and just why our rights are paramount in upholding democracy.
