Former Human Rights Watch Fellow Anjana Malhotra discusses two cases of individuals falsely accused of terrorist activities by the United States government.

-----

A Roundtable Discussion of Agency in Surveilled Space: who is watching, who is being watched, who decides which spaces are visible to the camera and which are effectively invisible, off-limits to authorities.

The panelists will examine how engineers, artists, and activists intervene in surveillance systems to subvert, invert, and redefine these relationships, and how the principle of "sousveillance" - meaning surveillance from "below," or watching the watchers - applies.

It features artists and engineers who collaborate to produce software and hardware applications that access and visualize data usually obscured from public view; artists whose projects have questioned the rhetoric of surveillance by intervening more playfully in the expected aesthetics or power dynamics; and activists who monitor post-9/11 surveillance by intelligence agencies and its effects on immigrant and dissenting communities - The New School

Anjana Malhotra is a human rights lawyer and former fellow with Human Rights Watch.

@Fafnd -- Pathetic example of braindead naivity, blindly swallowing the psyop propaganda pap put out by the corporate kleptocratic dictatorship. Tyhere's None, ZERO, -0-, NO conspiracy theory involved in observing the concerted put-up duplicity of FBI & CIA extremists who stage-managed every aspect of recent high-profile 'homegrown' Islamic terrorism -- from planting an idea, lavishly funding, scripting, supplying, coaxing, aiding, abetting to making possible the ludicrous plots then 'foiled'.

@zeb120 Wow now a jerkoff conspiracy theorist pops up into the debate. Why don't you go to some dark corner and sip on your kool-aid child, adults are trying to have an intelligent conversation here.

@PatrioticInsurgent way too much evidence implicating the government itself as being a terrorist organisation

[PatrioticInsurgent]

JUSTICE for all... If there were rare incidents and reports of corrupt American government attacking its own Citizens, that would be one thing... but there is WAY TOO MUCH EVIDENCE against the American Government violating our Constitutional rights, and not enough power to bring such CRIMINALS to justices. -Yes, criminals, referring to the American government.

I've met Anji in Buenos Aires nine years ago and she's a wonderful girl. Anyone who thinks she may even think of deceiving or intentionally confusing people doesn't know her.
