Annie Machon, a former MI5 officer, was forced to go into exile and hiding in Europe for many years after blowing the whistle on criminal activities in the organisation
Beginning the talk is Annie Machon. Annie Machon tells of the crimes and incompetence committed by MI5 during her time as an intelligence officer.
She says whistle-blowers pay an incredibly high price for the exposure of secrets and crimes within MI5. If you report a crime that has happened within the organisation then the whistle-blower is the one accountable and not the person who committed the crime.
ABOUT ANNIE MACHON:
Annie Machon is a former British Security Service (MI5) intelligence officer who left the Service at the same time as David Shayler, her partner at the time, to help him blow the whistle about alleged criminality within the intelligence agencies. By doing this, they had to give up their careers, go on the run across Europe (August 1997), live in hiding for a year, and then spend the next two years in exile in Paris. They, and many of their friends, family, supporters and journalists, claim to have been intimidated, and some of them were arrested, and put on trial. A death threat was announced against her on a Middle Eastern radio station.
