In KK Park, on the Myanmar-Thai border, those who refuse to scam face torture, starvation and even murder.
Together with my team, we've looked into the human trafficking, revealed the living conditions inside the scam factory and uncovered those behind it https://t.co/4qa45RWySN

Two years ago, when we investigated the 2013 chemical attack on Ghouta, many doubted that Syria's President Assad would one day be held to account. Today, France has issued an arrest warrant. A clear message that no one is above the law.

No Ukrainian town experienced Russia’s occupation quite like Kupyansk. The first city to surrender to Russian forces, it was meant to be an example of Russian revival — until it wasn’t.

Even after liberation, residents struggle with what happened there. https://t.co/kKjGh1M6bu

OUT NOW: Our documentary about life under occupation in the Ukrainian town of Kupyansk: It's a story of betrayal and defiance. And it is also a glimpse into the plans Russia had for Ukraine.

One year of work came to an end this week with the publication of our BBC investigation into Syria drug trafficking - starting to recover my energy so thought would share some top-lines. (a very short 🧵)

Very concerned. France is reportedly working behind the scenes to allow spying on journalists in the name of "national security" by amending article 4 of the European #MediaFreedomAct.

When they arrive in the dark of night, it’s like death has come knocking on your door, one man told me: #Bangladesh’s elite unit, the Rapid Action Battalion, #RAB. We teamed up with @NetraNews and spent the last few months investigating this force.

THREAD I see that many of those who don't live in Germany, are not aware of the "Reichsbürger" (Imperial Citizens) far-right movement, as its members were arrested today for the alleged preparation of a coup. Let me start this thread on the details of this conspiracy theory 1/x

“Here, for the first time, you have the situation where there was nationwide networking with very concrete plans,” says Germany’s domestic intelligence @BfV_Bund chief.

“There were plans to actually implement an overthrow of the government.”https://t.co/CtyylIQXpX
