Prevail Together: The bomb disposal charity working in Ukraine
Manage episode 483392739 series 3581491
Chris Garrett, a bomb disposal expert who was killed whilst operating in Ukraine last week, reportedly cleared between 5000-6000 tonnes of landmines from the country. He worked as part of an extraordinary team at the charity Prevail Together. Garrett was the founder and chair of the organisation, and was working alongside Nick Parsons, a former Australian soldier, at the time of the explosion.
Shaun Pinner reflects on both Chris Garrett's contributions and his own time as a prisoner of Russia, tortured by Putin's secret police.
Guest: Shaun Pinner, decorated former British soldier and Ambassador for Prevail Together.
