Saddened to hear of Anthony Lester’s passing. His contribution to discrimination and human rights law was unparalled. I had the privilege of working with him in various roles, such as trying to strengthen what became the Equality Act 2010. His Sat night phone calls were memorable

Very sad to hear of the death of Anthony Lester ( @Odysseus_Trust ) . He was the architect of the UK’s first Race Relations Act, a lifelong campaigner against race and sex discrimination. A kind, kind warm and amusing man.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.

Good summary of Anthony lester’s work including:”One occasion, he told Lord Diplock why, despite the inconvenience to his lordship, it was appropriate for legal argument to be heard before his client in Singapore was executed rather than afterwards

Sorry to hear of the death of Anthony Lester QC, Lord Lester of Herne Hill. When I was at @EnglishPEN I worked with him on a number of free speech campaigns, where his voice in parliament made the difference. Here’s a quick thread. 1/7

Deeply sad news that Anthony Lester QC, the brilliant human rights defender, activist, lawyer, Lord Lester has died. So many owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. But he never did it to be thanked he did it in order to right an injustice.
