#ADI2024 Day 3 continues the theme #DementiaRiskReduction with the opening plenary of the day: Risk reduction and prevention: innovation in science and communication. Chaired by @simonlong55 of @TheEconomist
In our latest blog post, we discuss the forced evictions and arbitrary destruction of a Malaiyaha Tamil home last month. srilankacampaign.org/200-years-of-b…
Very proud to have been involved in this year's World Alzheimer's Report, and very grateful to the many wonderful people I met while reporting it. @AlzDisInt alzint.org/resource/world…
For #WorldAlzMonth, we're focusing on risk reduction. Risk factors increase the likelihood of developing dementia, but it does not mean a diagnosis of dementia is certain. Join us in exploring 12 modifiable risk factors and ways to reduce your risk. bit.ly/3OXE07t
Advancing accountability for the riots and furthering the popular understanding of the ethnic conflict is essential for addressing the legacy of Black July - as we discuss in our latest report. srilankacampaign.org/report-black-j…
This article implicitly blames Tamils for triggering Black July; it exonerates the govt of any blame; and blames Tamils for the lack of progress on reconciliation. It is wholly emblematic of the lack of understanding of Black July and the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka.
✏️ The #KurtSchork Awards celebrate the often unsung reporters risking their lives in pursuit of the truth. As part of the prize, this year's winners will be taking the stage at @trustconf in October to share what it takes to cover challenging stories.➡️ bit.ly/3mS6RQa

A student from Xinjiang giving a speech at a gathering this evening, reportedly at the Guangdong Art Academy, saying "Justice forever", "rest in peace". Others around him hold up pieces of paper that might be blank - ie., the meaning is understood, not stated. #Urumqifire
Lockdown news from Lhasa: after 91 days, lockdown in Karma Gonsar, a prominent city area, has been lifted. The rules say "lifing lockdown does not mean lifting controls!" - residents can move within the area, but must still show COVID green codes, wear masks, & not gather.
