This is such a good piece of explanatory journalism on a question that has been nagging me and I’ve seen answered nowhere else:

Investigative journalism suffered a blow last week after the European Court of Justice struck down a key tool in the fight against corruption — public access to company ownership information.
Here’s why “ultimate beneficial ownership” data is so critical👇https://t.co/i2vJCsuOSX
🔴 Five years ago, the EU required member states to guaranteed public access to information on companies’ real owners. Today, the EU Court of Justice delivered a ruling that erases this progress.

She was full of life
Her name is Nika Shakarami. She was only 17.
Nika joined #IranProtests on Sept 20. Ten days later her family was asked to go to Kahrizak prison to get her body. The authorities didn’t allow the family to have a funeral for her while arresting her aunt & uncle

Our work is to save lives.
Whether it’s Afghanistan, Haiti, Lebanon, or communities facing extreme hardship worldwide—one thing we could do to save lives RIGHT NOW is become a country that welcomes more refugees with open arms.
