Maya Evans Biography

Maya Evans is one of the most popular and richest Chef who was born on December 18, 1979 in London Borough of Hackney, England, United Kingdom. Evans, an antiwar activist from Hastings was convicted for participating in unauthorised demonstrations within 1km of Parliament Square. Evans was given a conditional discharge as well as a fine.

Evans requested a judicial review of British soldiers’ detainee transfer policy. He was concerned about claims that Afghans were tortured and electrocuted after they were handed over to the National Directorate of Security. In April 2010, Evans sought a judicial review of the detainee transfer policy for Afghans captured by British soldiers. This was in response to claims that they were tortured, including beating and electrocution, after being handed over to the National Directorate of Security (NDS). On 25 June 2010, the judges described Evans’s decision as a partial victory. They concluded that there was “a real danger that detainees being transferred to NDS Kabul would be subjected torture or severe mistreatment” and that transfers would “therefore violate the Secretary of State’s policy and be unlawful”. However, transfers to other NDS facilities (Kandahar, Lashkar Gah), could continue if certain conditions were met. This included the right for British monitors to have access to detainees on a regular. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan found “compelling evidence” that NDS officials at five facilities tortured detainees, including one at Kandahar that had been declared safe for transfer by the High Court.

In 2010, Evans also mounted a call for a judicial review over alleged civilian killings by British forces in Afghanistan. On 12 May 2011, Evans won a separate action against cuts to legal aid for judicial review cases that were brought in the general public interest, submitting that the motive behind the cuts was to avoid government accountability rather than to save money. Lord Justice Laws and Mr Justice Stadlen found that the government had not properly revealed the “true reasons” behind their proposed amendments to legal aid, and that the consultation process had been “legally defective”. The ruling against the cuts was hailed as “a significant victory for the rule of law.”

Evans is a key campaigner in the group Voices for Creative Non-Violence UK, which focuses on the ongoing conflict with Afghanistan. Evans was on three speaking tours in the UK, in 2006, 2007, and 2012. Her letters regularly appear in The Guardian, The Independent, and, until 2011, she had a column in the monthly Peace News. The pressure group Liberty awarded Evans the Peter Duffy Award on 10 December 2007 in recognition of her “campaigning work and commitment towards the cause of liberty” as well as “courage in standing for our fundamental rights of peaceful protest and freedom speech”.
