n late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work—he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites. He escaped to the US—then ICE detained him. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

🔴 The latest UN report exposes Russia’s systematic use of drones and deportations drive civilians from their homes across Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions.

Wrote in @globalvoices.org about the burgeoning protest movement by Ethiopian doctors, demanding better pay & safe working conditions. Their month long labour strike paralyzed the health sector. In response, police arrested 149 striking doctors.

Doctors are threatening a new strike by Sept 15.
