Sadakat Kadri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sadakat Kadri (born in 1964 in London) is a lawyer, author, travel writer and journalist. One of his foremost roles as a barrister was to assist in the prosecution of former Malawian president Hastings Banda. As a member of the New York Bar he has worked as a volunteer with the American Civil Liberties Union. He has also specialised in freedom of information issues [1], .
His parallel travel writing career started with a visit to Prague during the 1989 Velvet Revolution as one of only a handful of 'non-journalists' to actually observe the reality of the changes without being hamstrung by press conferences and filing deadlines. He stayed on in Prague for two years to pen the groundbreaking Cadogan Guide [2] to that city. His 2005 book, The Trial[3] was written after two and a half years spent in Manhattan having arrived shortly before September 11 2001. He currently lives in London and writes law-based articles for the British current affairs magazine New Statesman[4].
