On 16 March, #MehmetTürkmen, president of #BiRTEK-SEN (United Union of Textile and Leather Workers), was arrested in #Turkey. His freedom has been violated, and the right to unionise has been infringed upon. We call for his immediate release and for the unconditional dismissal of all charges.

„No one should be punished for seeking protection“ writes @amnesty.org Seven years ago, right now, the oil tanker #ElHiblu1 was underway to #Malta. On board, 100 survivors who had escaped from Libya on a rubber boat the night before. Today, three of those - the #ElHiblu3 - still face charges.

A new report from Travis Van Isacker and Michel Stanislas at @borderforensics.bsky.social shows that UK govt 'stop the boats' policy has led to an increase in deaths. The Independent reports on it today: bit.ly/41wdqJ6

A new report by Travis Van Isacker @borderforensics.bsky.social found that deaths in the Channel rose after a major UK-France deal to 'stop the boats' ⤵️ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Today, Border Forensics together with @sociodigfutures.bsky.social releases the new investigation 'How ‘stopping the boats’ kills'! The report shows that the #UK's "stop the boats" policy has in fact led to an increase in deaths. Find full report here 👉 www.borderforensics.org/investigatio...

UN experts urge Malta to drop charges against El Hiblu 3 and uphold migrants’ rights „We condemn these unjustified charges. We are also concerned that Maltese law criminalises as terrorism conduct that is not genuinely terrorist under international law.” www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Did racism kill #Nzoy? As part of our recent investigation "The Death of Roger Nzoy Wilhem" we asked that question. Digging into that question, we built the Archive of Absence: an independent database of police-related deaths in #Switzerland since the 1990's. archiveofabsence.borderforensics.org

Four years ago today, on 30 August 2021, #Nzoy was fatally shot by police at #Morges station, #Switzerland. The Police claimed he attacked officers with a knife. Our new investigation shows his hands were open and empty before the first shot was fired – exposing the regime of police impunity.

Today, #BF launches a new investigation on the death of Roger Nzoy Wilhelm, a Black Swiss man. He was shot and killed by the police in August 2021, in Switzerland. The legal process that has been ongoing for the last four years has not answered the demands for truth and justice of Nzoy’s family.

Today, BF launches its new investigation on the killing of Nzoy. Roger Nzoy Wilhelm was shot dead by the police on 30 August 2021. Until today, light has yet to be shed on the exact circumstances that led to Nzoy’s death. Find our investigation here: www.borderforensics.org/investigatio...

The demand for truth and justice of the survivors of the 24 June 2022 massacre. Watch here: vimeo.com/955919956/af...

Today, we commemorate the victims of the 24 June 2022 #Nador-Melilla racist border massacre. Three years have passed, nobody is held accountable for 27 recorded deaths and 70 disappeared. The deceased and disappeared have not been identified, and many survivors remain incarcerated in Moroccan jails.

Meet the #BorderForensics' team of 2025. This weekend we came together in the General Assembly 2025 to discuss recent and upcoming projects, focus, ambition and challenges and new pathways for our work. #BF's network of thinkers and makers has become an inspiring and daring community. Stay tuned
