STATEMENT ON THE HOME RAIDS OF TWO ATLANTIC COUNCIL STAFF IN GEORGIA:
From Graham Brookie, the Atlantic Council’s vice president for technology programs and strategy, as well as the senior director of the Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab):
On the morning of October 24, officials from the Investigative Service of Georgia’s Ministry of Finance raided the homes of two staff members of the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab in Tbilisi, Georgia, confiscating their electronic devices. They were not detained and have not been charged by Georgian authorities.
The Atlantic Council is deeply concerned about this development and its impact on our staff’s work shortly before Georgian elections. Our Georgian colleagues, Sopo Gelava and Eto Buziashvili, are engaged in independent, non-partisan work aimed at defending and strengthening democracy from those who would undermine it in online spaces, including research related to foreign influence efforts, the targeting of marginalized communities, and other online harms.
We trust that Georgian authorities will provide more clarity on their actions, ensure the safety and security of our staff, return their property, and allow them to continue their contributions to Georgian democracy.
The Atlantic Council has long been a champion of a democratic and independent Georgia and its aspirations to join the institutions of the transatlantic community. The Digital Forensic Research Lab publishes research that highlights the importance of discourse and objective information as a foundation of free, open, and democratic countries.
The Atlantic Council will continue its work in Georgia in the spirit of its mission of shaping the global future together with partners and allies. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
One of the best examples of #osint4good out there, I still show this video to my journalism students to show them how we can make a difference, even from a distance, with little more than persistence, an inquisitive mindset and some #osint knowledge.
Six years ago, when I was with BBC Africa Eye, we published this open source investigation into a viral video showing Cameroonian soldiers executing two women and children.
Those soldiers were since jailed for 10 years. A short sentence for such a chilling crime.

@bellingcat I guess 2014 was the first time, having worked in #OSINT since 2007, that I could point to a public repository that could exemplify my daily work. Thank you for that. For those of us who have been in Osint for a long time, there is B.B. and A.B. It was a game changer.
In a complex world, good judgment isn't about trusting your gut. It's about testing your gut.
59 studies, 72k ppl: when basic math refutes their intuition, many cling to intuition and ignore the facts.
A mark of wisdom is being as quick to question old ideas as new information.
