10 September 2024
We are sad to announce that Tony Bunyan, co-founder and Director of Statewatch for more than 30 years, has passed away on 9th September 2024.
Tony had a pivotal role in fostering and maintaining the collaboration between Statewatch and AIP that has now spanned over 20 years. We learned a lot from Statewatch, and especially from Tony himself.
His visits in Sofia and participation in conferences, round tables and interviews are memorable, as well as our discussions during the Statewatch meetings in London, dinners at Tony's and gatherings in different places.
We will never forget Tony and his passion for civil liberties and democracy.
This is a very big loss for the whole civil liberties community.
May he rest in peace!
