SUMMARY:'The Suspect' Author Talk: Mental Health\, Counterterrorism\, and the Surveillance State
DESCRIPTION:*** RESCHEDULED: from 21st June to 5th July ***\nDue to industrial action on the transport network\, we have moved the date of this event to Tuesday 5th July. Solidarity with the striking rail workers! \nWhat impact has two decades’ worth of policing and counterterrorism had on the state of mind of Muslims in Britain? The Suspect draws on the author’s experiences to take the reader on a journey through British counterterrorism practices and the policing of Muslims. \nJoin Rizwaan Sabir and Tarek Younis for discussion on the traumatising effects of Sabir’s surveillance\, arrest and detention for suspected terrorism. \nWriting publicly for the first time about the impacts of these experiences\, Sabir argues that these harmful outcomes are not the result of errors in government planning\, but the consequences of using a counterinsurgency warfare approach to fight terrorism and police Muslims. \nTo resist the injustice of these policies and practices\, we need to centre our lived experiences and build networks of solidarity and support. \nPlease register to receive a 20% discount code for The Suspect when purchasing via Pluto Press. \nThis is an in-person event with an option to livestream via Zoom. The venue is Brady Arts & Community Centre\, 192-196 Hanbury St\, London E1 5HU (map). \n[Registration has now closed] \n— \nDr Rizwaan Sabir is a Lecturer in Criminology at Liverpool John Moores University in the UK and author of The Suspect: Counterterrorism\, Islam\, and the Security State. \nDr Tarek Younis is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Middlesex University.
