CapX: Repatriating Shamima Begum is vital for the UK’s national security
CEP Senior Adviser Ian Acheson writes: "Yesterday, the appeal court ruled that in absentia, she had not been afforded sufficient opportunity to defend herself against the British Government’s decision to strip her of UK citizenship. She must now return to the UK to present her case. This was an entirely predictable outcome from an ill-conceived knee-jerk decision that had too much to do with populism and far too little to do with smart national security. We should have had Begum and her associates with British citizenship back on these shores long ago."

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
