The «documentary» Tanks for kidneys is produced by the Russian state broadcaster RT. It falsely accuses Ukraine of selling organs from soldiers and civilians on the black market since 2014. logicallyfacts.com/en/analysis/ta…

Attacks by the Rapid Support Forces and their allied militias on El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, Sudan, have escalated. If the city of El Fasher falls to the RSF, further atrocities against civilians are likely. More in Andrew Stroehlein's Daily Brief: trib.al/VnK6BsX

My latest article examines the development of "criminal synergies" between criminal groups involved in #humansmuggling and #organtrafficking along the Central Mediterranean route. You can read it (open access) here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

My The Guardian Long Read article on the organ trade was made into a podcast. I spoke to several people from “donors” to brokers. Their stories reveal how #organtrafficking profits from the bodies of the poor and disenfranchised. You can listen here: theguardian.com/news/audio/202…

I’m honoured to receive a Giles St Aubyn award from Royal Society of Literature for my forthcoming book on the organ trade with Faber Books. The book, I hope, will bring attention and bear witness to a hidden crime that profits from the bodies of the poor and disenfranchised.

Starving Gazans packed behind fences for a scrap of aid. This isn’t relief—it’s humiliation and dehumanization by design. History won’t forget who watched and did nothing.
