## Description
**Ask It Right, But First Listen** is a podcast produced by the Sciences Po Journalism students where exceptional guests from a variety of professions share their insights about the art of listening, a rare skill in our polarised world. Each episode offers listening tips for everyday life.  
  
This episode features Agnes Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International and former UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.  
  
Our guest has confronted powerful regimes, uncovered hidden truths, and— above all —  asked the hard questions. We sit down to discuss her path to becoming a leading human rights advocate, her investigation of the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the attempted poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. She takes us through the corridors of power of the UN and human rights work, to discuss the most challenging moments when asking the right questions.
