The Adam Buxton Podcast

Adam talks with Maya Foa, the director of Human rights charity Reprieve, about the questionable efficacy of the death penalty, torture, Jack Bauer, drone strikes, why Obama should have watched 'Dave' starring Kevin Kline, and whether I could get out of Guantanamo.Reprieve is a nonprofit organisation of international lawyers and investigators whose stated goal is to "fight for the victims of extreme human rights abuses with legal action and public education".Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and to Matt Lamont for additional editing.RELATED LINKSREPRIEVE WEBSITEhttps://reprieve.org.uk/CAN YOU PASS THE GUANTANAMO PRB?https://reprieve.org.uk/update/why-theres-no-way-out-of-guantanamo-especially-if-youre-innocent/FOURTEEN DAYS IN MAY (1987)https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p05m5xb9/fourteen-days-in-mayMAYA FOA & IBRAHIM HALAWA ON EGYPT'S MASS TRAILS (2019)https://www.thirteen.org/programs/amanpour-co/maya-foa-ibrahim-halawa-egypts-mass-trials-fais7l/'DAVE' TRAILERhttps://www.youtube.
