BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Lyse Doucet with Nader Nadery

Lyse Doucet in conversation with Nader Nadery, a human rights campaigner in Kabul.

Lyse Doucet speaks to Nader Nadery, a human rights campaigner in Kabul who, despite living under direct threat from the Taliban, continues to work for the future of his country.

For this week's edition of 'One to One' Lyse Doucet has travelled to Kabul to speak to Nader Nadery, a human rights campaigner who, despite living under direct threat from the Taliban, continues to work for the future of his country. 

He's in his thirties, which means that in his lifetime his country has never been at peace. When he was eight his primary school was destroyed by the Mujahideen and, in his twenties, he was arrested and tortured by the Taliban. Highly educated and able to live abroad should he want to, he's chosen to remain in Kabul and now works for a human rights organisation. His inspiration is Ghandi - his telephone screensaver bears his image - yet he must travel in an armoured car for his own protection.

Producer: Karen Gregor.
