On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to UK rap legend Lowkey ahead of the 3rd Anniversary of the Grenfell Tower Tragedy and amid a revitalized anti-racism movement in the UK. He discusses why we should commemorate the 'state crime' of the Grenfell tragedy on Sunday, the link between government deregulation and the Grenfell tragedy, the alleged role of certain companies in making it possible for the Grenfell fire to happen, his allegations of a corporate cover-up regarding investigations into the tragedy, the media's failure to cover the companies' alleged role in creating the conditions leading to the Grenfell fire, reports of UK security services contracting out Instagram and Facebook accounts as a part of their PREVENT strategy, PREVENT using his music videos in training sessions, statues being torn down in Black Lives Matter protests in the UK, why the British public supports the British Empire despite its bloody history, Britain having to pay the victims of the British Empire and wars Britain has participated in and more!
STATEMENT FROM THE GRENFELL TOWER INQUIRY:
"The undertaking that has been sought does not grant immunity from prosecution and does not have that effect. Prosecutions can still be brought, but any oral evidence given to the Inquiry by a witness subject to the undertaking cannot be used in support of the prosecution of that person. Any prosecution would therefore have to be supported by other evidence. The undertaking does not apply to any statements or documents already in the possession of the Inquiry and it does not prevent the prosecuting authorities from making use of answers given by one witness in furtherance of a prosecution of another.”
We contacted The British Museum who directed us to a blog by Director Hartwig Fischer that can be found here: https://blog.britishmuseum.org/a-message-from-director-hartwig-fischer/

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Palestinian Ambassador to the UN Riyad H. Mansour about Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest threat to illegally annex parts of the West Bank and his threat to start a war in Gaza. Mansour looks at the motivations for these escalations, attributing them to Netanyahu’s election campaign and blames the US for allowing this further shift in Israeli policy. Next we speak to David Nevin, the lawyer for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged “principle architect of the 9/11 attacks,” on the likelihood of Mohammed’s prosecution after years of CIA torture and human rights abuses at Guantanamo Bay, arguing that US practices may have made his prosecution more difficult.

We speak to Ram Madhav, the National General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the BJP’s landslide win and it’s implications on Indian society and the world, allegations of Islamophobia and quasi-fascism, relations with Pakistan and how India will conduct international relations with a new Cold War between Russia and the US and a rising China.
Statement from the Pakistani High Commission:
"Pakistan itself is a victim of terrorism and suffered both in terms of losses to human lives and its economy. We have lost more than 70,000 citizens including over 6,000 soldiers and economic losses, to the tune of US$ 120 billion. Pakistan also has its concern with regard to terrorism vis-a-vis India.
Pakistan remains committed not to allow its territory against any country. Prime Minister Imran Khan in his recent public messages to the Indian leadership has called for dialogue and resolving all outstanding issues, particularly, Kashmir dispute, to bring peace and prosperity in South Asia.
We remain committed to peace with all our neighbours and beyond."
STATEMENT FROM THE EMBASSY OF CHINA:
China's principle and position on the Kashmir issue is clear. China has repeated many times that the CPEC is an economic cooperation initiative which targets no third country. It has nothing to do with territorial sovereignty disputes and will not affect China's stance on the Kashmir issue.
