Uncovering Syria’s Stolen Children
The fall of Bashar al-Assad in late 2024 reverberated through Syria like a proverbial earthquake, as his decades-old regime of dictatorship, oppression, and secrecy melted away almost overnight. For both local and foreign journalists, Assad’s ouster also presented a rare opportunity for accountability reporting, a chance to pursue stories of wrongdoing by his regime that had been difficult, if not impossible while he was still in power.

Back Channel Cooperation: How Frontex Helps Haul Migrants Back To Libyan Torture Camps
Refugees are being detained, tortured and killed at camps in Libya. Investigative reporting by DER SPIEGEL and its partners has uncovered how closely together the European Union’s border agency Frontex works with the Libyan coast guard. At sunrise, Alek Musa was still in good spirits. On the morning of June 25, 2020, he crowded onto an inflatable boat with 69 other people seeking asylum. Most of the refugees were Sudanese like him. They had left the Libyan coastal city of Garabulli the night before.
Europe’s refugee double standard leaves it vulnerable
Bashar Deeb is an investigative journalist who works with Lighthouse Reports. If there’s one positive outcome of the war in Ukraine, it’s that the response to the more than 3 million refugees who have left the country is setting a benchmark for what a humanitarian response can and should look like. In countries like Poland, refugees are being greeted not with tear gas and batons but warm sausages, blankets, wi-fi passwords, free Uber rides and room in people’s homes.
Mamo, pomódl się za nas. Reportaż 'Spiegla' o ofiarach zmarłych na granicy polsko-białoruskiej
|
Nowi zmarli chowani są tuż koło siebie, w odległym rogu cmentarza. Trzej mężczyźni sypią ziemię na trumnę. Słychać chrzęst ich łopat. Na grobie umieszczają tablicę z datą śmierci i literami N. N. - nomen nescio, imię nieznane. Dla mężczyzn z Bohonik w gminie Sokółka przy granicy z Białorusią to już drugi pogrzeb w ciągu trzech dni. O zmarłym wiedzą tylko tyle, że nie pochodził z okolicy, podobno był muzułmaninem i że grzybiarz znalazł jego ciało w lesie.

Investigating One Case of Civilian Harm In Afghanistan
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has been investigating strikes in Afghanistan for the past five years. It has been a struggle. Issues from sheer danger on the ground to a near-total lack of transparency from the U.S. and Afghan armed forces have made the job difficult. There was a cache of 21 strikes in our database that demanded further investigation.
Finding the faces of Afghanistan's slaughtered civilians
