1993

In 1993, MI5 began a three-year surveillance operation (including phone-tapping and bugging her house) against Brittain as a total of £250,000 of money had arrived in her bank account, possibly laundered from Libyan sources.

It was later discovered that this money was from the Ghanaian military officer Kojo Tsikata.

Brittain had agreed to channel Tsikata's funds for a libel case against The Independent through her personal account; unbeknown to her, Tsikata was receiving funds for his suit from Libya.

Her work has focused on human rights and she has written widely and given lectures related to Guantanamo Bay prison.

2018

Brittain was born in India and was three or four years old when she went to Britain – as she said in a 2018 interview: "My father was part of the so-called British Empire and he was like a leftover from that period."

Brittain has lived and worked in Saigon, Algiers, Nairobi, London and Washington, DC, and has reported from more than two dozen African countries, as well as the Middle East, particularly Palestine and Lebanon, and Cuba.
