S2, Ep 12: Ukrainian investigative journalist Anna Myroniuk

It's the 23 February 2022 and investigative journalist Anna Myroniuk is at home in Ukraine's capital Kiev, watching history unfold. President Putin has taken to the airwaves, delivering an address which any Ukrainian would immediately recognise as a declaration of war. For months there had been troop build ups and a steady drum of warnings that Russia was about to invade. Then, only a couple of hours after Putin’s address, Anna awoke to the sounds of explosions outside her home. In this - the last episode of the series - Nicola speaks to Anna about how she and her colleagues continued to report from inside Ukraine despite missile strikes, internet shutdowns and an aggressive Russian disinformation campaign. She describes the complexities of setting up the Kyiv Independent after she and fifty of her co-workers were fired from another paper and the ongoing challenges of getting impartial information out of the country.

Digital Freedom in Iran - Ep 3: Gender apartheid in Iran and Afghanistan

In the third episode in our series on Iran, Jo Glanville meets Professor Karima Bennoune, Lewis M. Simes Professor of Law at the University of Michigan and former UN rapporteur in the field of cultural rights. Professor Bennoune is leading a campaign for gender apartheid to be recognised as a crime against humanity. The term describes the institutionalised oppression of women based on gender. Professor Bennoune, alongside campaigners in Afghanistan and Iran, wants to change that, and is calling for gender apartheid to be included in a UN treaty to prevent and punish crimes against humanity.

From Big Tech to Titan Tech

This week, we are looking a little deeper into the murky world of social media companies and search engines - and the gargantuan power they exercise over our online lives as well as our human rights. Emily Hart is joined by Carolina Botero of Colombian digital rights campaign Karisma and regulation expert Dr Liza Luffdal Gormsen - they'll be looking at regulation, and talking about whether the models currently emerging in Europe can work in other contexts, given the radically different factors at play.

Restrictions on right to abortion brings new threat to free speech in US

The United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on 24 June 2022, and with it, the right to abortion as a constitutional right. A number of states took immediate action: in South Carolina, moves are underway to make it illegal to provide information about abortion; in Texas, people are being encouraged to spy and report on anyone who offers assistance to people getting an abortion. Jo Glanville talks to Quinn McKew, Executive Director for ARTICLE 19, First Amendment expert, lawyer and ARTICLE 19 trustee Bob Latham, and Alexandra Reeve Givens, CEO at the Center for Democracy and Technology, about the attack on reproductive rights, but also on people’s right to access information and to freely express themselves.

S2, Ep 6: Yalda Moaiery, Iranian photojournalist

On 16 September 2022, Iranian photojournalist Yalda Moaiery was out on the streets of the Iranian capital Tehran, capturing images of protests that were soon to sweep around the world. Days before, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old girl from Kurdistan, had been arrested by Iran’s morality police, accused of not wearing her headscarf properly. Shortly after that, news emerged that Mahsa had died in police custody. Though the authorities have always denied it, eyewitnesses say she was severely beaten by prison officers, later dying of the injuries she had sustained. It was a pivotal moment for hundreds of thousands of people in Iran, who took to the streets, chanting “Women, Life, Freedom”. In this episode, Nicola speaks to Yalda about being detained in the notorious Qarchak prison, what she witnessed at the protests and the brutal crackdowns that followed. Nearly two years on, how much has changed for women in Iran, and for those who expose the truth about what’s really going on there?

S2, Ep 5: Georgian journalist Tornike Mandaria

Though it rarely makes news headlines, in the Southern Caucasus a geopolitical battle is underway. Georgia is locked between democracy - with closer ties to Europe - and authoritarianism, with the Russian bear looming ever larger. It all started in April 2024, when a new law was introduced dubbed the 'foreign agent law', which mandated that any organisation receiving more than 20 per cent of its funds from abroad needed to register as organisations pursuing the interests of a foreign power. In response, tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets calling for closer union with NATO and the EU, and for the government to turn away from Russia. Here, Nicola Kelly speaks to Georgian journalist Tornike Mandaria about the growing movement and what these demonstrations tell us about the future of this embattled nation and its people.

S2, Ep 8: Vietnamese editor and journalist Quỳnh-Vi Trần

Though few people are aware, Vietnam now ranks at the bottom of all major global press indexes, its freedom of expression considered only slightly better than China and North Korea. In the midst of the global pandemic, a prominent author and journalist, Pham Doan Trang, was arrested on trumped-up charges of anti-state propaganda. She now faces nine years in prison. In this episode, Nicola speaks to Trang's colleague Quỳnh-Vi Trần about the challenges of getting impartial information out of one of the most repressive media environments in the world.
