The International State Crime Initiative was launched on 14th June 2010 at King's College London by a lecture by Robert Fisk, Middle East correspondent of The Independent and a photography and video exhibition by Yusuf Sayman, a New York based photographer. Fisk's lecture was entitled 'State of Denial: A Reporter in the Middle East' and covered a wide range of material on the recent and distant history of the Middle East, US and British policy in the region, the role of journalism in uncovering truth and the yearning of all peoples for the justice they are denied.
