Photographer Edmund Clark and the investigative journalist Crofton Black are the authors of Negative Publicity – a new book about extraordinary rendition. They will discuss their research into extraordinary rendition sites around the world, focusing on East European sites and how they connect to the global network of ‘rendition hubs’, including Afghanistan, Libya and Guantanamo. Clark and Black collected a vast number of images and documents which reveal the treatment to which detainees were subjected, and the intricate but haphazard network of state and private bodies that the process of extraordinary rendition is outsourced to.
