More detail
Following revelations about Mark Kennedy and the growing spycops scandal, Kate took on the Metropolitan Police for breach of human rights – and won. She had a one-year relationship with ‘Mark Stone’ in 2003, but years later discovered he was a police officer, part of a unit that infiltrated political groups, forming sexual relationships and spying on hundreds of innocent civilians. Hear her discuss how it took her over a decade to uncover part of the eerie truth about Britain’s secret political police, what we have learnt from the disclosure of thousands of secret police files, and why her story and fight matter to all of us.

Kate Wilson is a life-long campaigner and her landmark victory in the trial 'Wilson v the Commissioner' established that British undercover police operations targeting her movements were unlawful and ‘unnecessary in a democratic society’, and consistently violated basic human and political rights.
