‘LSE Reuse Scheme sends fake charity to recycling bin’
Co-ordinated by cij director, Gavin MacFadyen, a team of cij interns undertook a large-scale investigation into Humana People-to-People, throughout 2008.
Based on material provided by journalist Mike Durham, the investigation lasted for eight months.
Nizar Manek published a related article in The Beaver, the LSE’s student paper, which led to the London School of Economics evicting Humana People-to-People from its reuse and books recycling programme.
Most recently, interns Sarah Harrison and Joseph Farrell were involved in assisting Julian Assange with the WikiLeaks disclosure of secret US military records.
