A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.

Navarro did not respond to multiple requests for comment before we published. He now says it is "crazy stuff". Story updated with his denial, but we stand behind the story.

This is just awful.
I don't know who, if anyone, is left dedicating coverage to these communities.

This is terrible news for local news. These outlets did such great work to inform their communities. Local newsrooms matter so much more than people think they do. Im so sorry to all the amazing journalists who worked so hard for these newsrooms.

In many cases, these orgs provide our last window into what is actually happening in China. They do the painstaking, risky work of tracking Chinese censorship, tallying local protests, uncovering rights violations, & documenting the Uyghur genocide.
