🚨 The Committee to Protect Journalists is aware of accusations made by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) against several journalists in Gaza accusing them of being members of militant groups. Israel has repeatedly made similar unproven claims without producing credible evidence. After killing Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail Al Ghoul in July, the IDF previously produced a similar document, which contained contradictory information, showing that Al Ghoul, born in 1997, received a Hamas military ranking in 2007 – when he would have been 10 years old.

Israel has published more videos of its own airstrikes than any other modern military - boasting precision in its campaign in Gaza. But who was really killed? A new Airwars visual investigation in collaboration with @SkyNews idf-tweets-gaza.airwars.org/

One of the most moving pieces of partner impact I have witnessed during my time @pulitzercenter. India's Supreme Court just banned caste-based work in prisons after an exposé by @sukanyashantha & @jahnavi_sen of @thewire_in. The chief judge thanked the reporters for their work.
The Wire’s @sukanyashantha's report exposing caste segregation in Indian prisons has led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling declaring caste-based practices unconstitutional. States/UTs ordered to revise prison rules and tackle broader discrimination. #Watch:

Can we take a rest? Maybe die for a few months or years and wake up when the poem is complete, when the flowers in our garden start to grow, their scent luring the sparrows into visiting our house, our house that’s now a small forest of rubble.

A 10-month @NBCNews investigation reveals how the corpses of the poor were systematically cut up and leased out — to major medtech companies, universities, the Army and beyond — as part of a flourishing business. When confronted by our reporters, the program was suspended, the executives were fired. Dealing the Dead: By @Mike_Hixenbaugh @jonschuppe and Susy Carroll: nbcnews.com/news/us-news/uni…
