From Liberty's press release:

Shami Chakrabarti is to be the new Director of Liberty. She succeeds John Wadham who has been appointed Deputy Chairman of the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

...

Shami Chakrabarti joined Liberty in 2001 as the group's 'In-House Counsel' and is now recognised as one of the UK’s leading authorities on anti-terror laws. She says that the measures adopted by the Government in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks have made her "ashamed to be a lawyer."
