Sad to hear news of Jonathan Cooper @DoughtyStreet. The human rights community should re-double efforts to fill massive gap & be inspired by his legacy. The sharpest of legal minds yet model of collegiality/encouragement in pursuit of justice&dignity. Thoroughly decent too(rare)

As I began rebuilding my life, a dear friend lifted me being my cheerleader. He set up my first book deal. Suddenly, Jonathan Cooper OBE – international human rights barrister – has left this world but his legacy and those he has helped remains forever. Thinking of Kevin/family x
