Rudy Narayan

Barrister and civil rights activist. Born Rahasya Rudra Narayan in British Guiana (now Guyana). Arrived in Britain in 1953, where he served in the army for seven years, before reading for the bar. He started a promising career, fighting against discrimination and racism in the legal profession, but heavy drinking caused him to be expelled from chambers and eventual disbarment for professional misconduct. Died in King's College Hospital, Lambeth.
