Glock-Pistolen in Südamerika: Ein Journalistenmord mit Gruß aus Österreich
Paraguay wird seit Jahren von Glock-Pistolen geflutet, meist landen sie wohl bei Gangs. Der brasilianische Journalist Lourenço Veras hat dazu recherchiert – und wurde selbst mit einer Glock ermordet

Il s'appelait Mahmoud Isleem Al-Basos, et il a collaboré avec @forbidden-stories.bsky.social au début de ce mois. Quelques jours plus tard, il est tué par l'armée israélienne, alors que le cessez-le-feu était toujours en vigueur. ⬇️

Finally, a big congrats to @mrnbr.bsky.social, who was the motor for this project behind the scenes. Her story looks at the complete and utter lack of accountability for journalist deaths in the conflict, and the actors trying to sweep the truth under the rug. forbiddenstories.org/palestine-in...

“Where International Law Goes to Die”: Mechanisms Blocking Justice for Journalists and Civil Society
Since 2001, Israeli fire has claimed the lives of nearly 200 journalists—170 of them since the war on Gaza began. Yet, even in the most extreme cases, Israel has failed to hold anyone accountable.

Quick geolocation by @annonemo.bsky.social of the deadly IDF strike on journalists in northern Gaza today. While it's not clear where the journalists were filming before getting into the car, the location of the strike here is more than 3km from the border and IDF outpost constructed near it.
A satellite image composite of northern Gaza using March 2 SkySat imagery and February 25 PlanetScope imagery from Planet Labs. The imagery shows the northern border of Gaza with Israel as well as two IDF outposts near the border and the location where journalists were killed in an airstrike on their car. The strike location is approximately 3.2 kilometers from the nearest IDF outpost.
