This was a powerful example of interdisciplinary methodology: combining qualitative analysis of testimonies of border violence with spatial-temporal mapping of border infrastructure, with great statistical modeling with @spatiosam.bsky.social

"We then, in collaboration with Sam Chambers, modelled how different border-control interventions and scenarios extend the time migrants spend in these environments, thereby intensifying their exposure to meteorological and topographical harm." www.borderforensics.org/investigatio...

Figure 3.35.
Monthly 1 km downscaled surfaces of minimum duration-limited exposure (DLE, hours, masked to the area of interest, for January 2021 through December 2025. Higher values indicate longer allowable exposure under the assumed clothing and activity conditions, whereas lower values indicate shorter allowable exposure and therefore greater cold stress. Seasonal structure and spatial heterogeneity are evident. Figure 3.36. Monthly 1 km downscaled surfaces of minimum duration-limited exposure (DLE, hours, masked to the area of interest, for January 2021 through December 2025. Higher values indicate longer allowable exposure under the assumed clothing and activity conditions, whereas lower values indicate shorter allowable exposure and therefore greater cold stress. Seasonal structure and spatial heterogeneity are evident.
Monthly 1 km downscaled surfaces of minimum required clothing insulation (IREQ, clo), masked to the Poland area of interest, for January 2021 through December 2025. Higher values indicate greater clothing insulation required to remain within the modeled cold-strain criterion, whereas lower values indicate lower clothing demand. Seasonal structure and spatial heterogeneity are evident but not identical to DLE.

Modelled cumulative cold exposure and distress-call clusters along the Poland-Belarus border. This map overlays a scenario-based surface of cumulative cold exposure across the borderland with the spatial distribution of documented distress-call clusters. The blue surface represents the modelled intensity of cold exposure under the selected delay scenario, while yellow circles indicate distress-call locations/ clusters. These layers show that exposure is produced not only by environmental conditions, but by the interaction between terrain, bordering infrastructures, and the forced duration of migrants' immobility or rerouting.

Figure 4.31. Cold-stress scenarios, documented deaths, and distance to the Belarus border. The maps compare death locations with cumulative cold-exposure contours under successive bordering scenarios. The contour values are used as an exposure index rather than as literal core-body temperature loss. Across scenarios, added delay compresses dangerous exposure thresholds toward the border. The distance-to-border analysis shows that mapped body-recovery locations remain situated within the wider borderland, with a particularly marked 2025 concentration near the legal border and along river-border sections. Table 4.2. The table shows the median distance from the Belarus border at which deaths occurred, along with the number of deaths recorded within 5 km and within 10 km of the border, illustrating how closely fatalities are clustered around the border zone.

We've been working on this in close collaboration with activists and humanitarian organisations for almost two years. On 8 September, roughly five years since it began, we launch The Death Zone, our investigation into how the Poland–Belarus border became a space of violence.

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...

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.

1/3 On March 15, 2025, a so-called Long-Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), also known as a “sound cannon”, was reportedly used against hundreds of thousands of protestors in Belgrade, Serbia. We believe this wasn’t the first time a weapon like this has been used in Serbia.

The past days have taken me to the heart of the Podlasie region, where the border between Poland and Belarus stretches through ancient, primeval forests.
