My colleagues @juliahahntv and Jonathan Crane have done amazing work with partners to track the mysterious disappearance of Belarusian dissident Anatol Kotau. Their findings suggest he was taken by Russian security forces - possibly on Belarus' request. https://t.co/oZbpA6aEoP
EXCLUSIVE: How the track foreigners in China - We got rare access to demo system developed by the Ministry of Public Security in China for the prefecture of Zhangjiakou, to track and surveil foreigners visiting or being residents ( actually it applies to most nationals as well, but in this case it seems to be aimed at foreigners ). It is officially known as "Dynamic control platform for overseas personnel". 1/12

Several international NGOs have limited their language and advocacy on the topic of Gaza out of fear that Israel might otherwise refuse them permits to operate in the Palestinian territories. https://t.co/eOUIChWCnK
Aid workers accuse humanitarian organizations of censoring their language on #Gaza. I felt, one former aid worker said, that I was "being asked to lie". They fear Israel might otherwise refuse them permits to operate in the Palestinian territories. https://t.co/k2Q4sSwrYM

Breaking: Xinjiang gets new party secretary as Ma Xingrui is replaced by Chen Xiaojiang, deputy United Front Work Department minister and the first ethnic Han appointed director of the National Ethnic Affairs Commission.

About a month ago one of those 48 Uyghurs left me WhatsApp voice messages, he said “instead of sending us back to China Thai government should kill us here in the free world”
I've heard from a few reliable sources that Thailand's Immigration Detention Centers appear to be preparing—positioning trucks, setting up tunnel tents, and deploying additional personnel at IDC Suan Phlu. They are not allowing journalists to film there this evening.#Uyghurs
Tonight, Idris Hasan is free. He suffered more than 3 years in detention in Morocco, due to the Chinese government’s abuse of the Interpol RED notice system. We are so grateful to welcome him. Whenever it is possible to rescue even one Uyghur, we must do it.
