She has testified as an expert witness in legal proceedings in Spain, the United States, and Latin America, including the trial of former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori. Doyle will describe some of her experiences in the field in the context of the National Security Archive’s campaign to link the right to information with justice and accountability struggles in the Americas.
