📢Personal news 📢 - I’ll be leaving BBC staff at the end of August . I'm working on a book proposal with @davidhigham and I intend to work freelance for the BBC and others in future. I’m proud of the original and investigative work I’ve done over decades, with brilliant colleagues, breaking stories on so many issues on @BBCR4Today and @BBCnews. I'm especially proud of my recent work on Family Courts. It’s changed the law - helped open up these powerful courts to all journalists - and I plan to continue with it. You can find me here, on Linkedin and at sanchiaberg@icloud.com.

📣 Some news about me:
Yesterday (Wednesday) I was detained by police in Istanbul, held for 17 hours and then deported from Turkey to the UK. Told I was “a threat to public order”. In the country I lived in - and love.
Journalism is not a crime.
Here’s the BBC’s statement:

@marklowen What a horrible experience Mark! It says so much about what things have come to in Turkey.

For clarification: This letter is a request from the Director of Religious Affairs in Damascus to the Minister of Religious Affairs, asking and urging the implementation of such measures.
This is NOT an official decision but rather a formal request for action.
Joshua Landis@joshua_landis
Syria's Ministry of Religious Affairs imposes penalties on those who don't respect those fasting during the month of Ramadan.

‘You could see it in the satellite imagery—parallel lines of mass graves.’
@SoccerMouaz on NPR with @Rsherlock, revealing the Assad regime’s attempt to hide its crimes after key testimony before the U.S. Congress.

Still in #Syria searching for my father.
Thousands of families are searching for loved ones, desperate for any piece of information.
For years, the Assad regime denied our pain, denied our demands, and gaslit us about their arrests.
We won’t be silent. We demand the full truth
