Martin Walker

Martin J. Walker was born in Manchester, England, 1947. He attended Hornsey College of Art and was expelled after the student occupation of 1968. Over the following thirty years, he was a libertarian/Marxist political activist and campaigner, involved in a wide range of anti imperialist and community campaigns. Throughout the ‘70’s and early 80’s he was part of the prisoners movement and researched police
corruption and wrongful arrest.
In 1985, when the miners strike began, he advised the union and the pickets on their rights and on police strategy. Walker founded Hackney Community Defence Association (HCDA), which worked on the defence of people assaulted and wrongfully arrested by the police.
In 1990, he began investigating and writing about the ‘health fraud’ movement and vested interests in science and medicine. Since publishing Dirty Medicine in 1993, he continued working in this area.
