Richard Hermer QC, Phillippa Kaufmann QC and Murray Hunt talk to the Open Society’s Foundations Africa Director, Muthoni Wanyeki about the impact not only in her home country Kenya, but across the African continent more generally, and to Colin Gonsalves, one of India’s most prominent human rights lawyers, on the challenges thrown up or amplified by the state’s response to the virus.
