S2, Ep 10: Exposing the Wagner Group's atrocities in Africa

Today the Wagner Group is known to many for the role it played in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But in 2018, when Nigerian journalist Philip Obaji Jr began to investigate their activities in Africa, the group was still largely unknown. What Philip discovered was human rights atrocities on an unimaginable scale. In central and west Africa, the Wagner Group was exploiting the natural resources to fund Russia’s proxy wars, seizing gold mining sites and opening fire on the communities that lived nearby. One day in December 2023, Philip went on a high-risk reporting trip to the Central African Republic to visit a community of gold miners. But within an hour of arriving in a border village, he was captured, badly beaten and detained. In this week's episode, Philip tells Nicola about the risks he took to expose the truth about Putin’s paramilitaries and their crimes in Africa. Presented by Nicola Kelly Producer: Kevin Caners

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.

Digital Freedom in Iran - EP 4: Digital harassment

In the final episode of ARTICLE 19’s podcast series on Iran, journalist and producer Jo Glanville discusses online harassment with Simin Fahandej, the representative of the Bahá’í International Community’s United Nations Office in Geneva, and Azadeh Pourzand, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Siamak Pourzand Foundation. Last month, the UN fact-finding mission on Iran warned of an increasing crackdown since the war with Israel in June, with more than 21,000 arrests and mistreatment of minorities and journalists. There’s evidence that digital harassment is on the increase within this climate of repression, not only in Iran but transnationally as well. Tactics include smear campaigns, hacking, surveillance and direct threats which all are a chill on free speech, creating insecurity and fear. Despite this, Fahandej and Pourzand both see evidence of a vibrant civic space in Iran.

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 2: Oren Ziv, Israeli photojournalist

In the early hours of 7 October 2023, news rolled in which was a completely different scale to anything Israeli photojournalist Oren Ziv had ever covered before. He grabbed his cameras and headed south to the border villages. Not long after that, he and his colleagues came under fire from Hamas militants who had broken through the border wall. Later, Oren visited the site of the Nova music festival and kibbutz where Israelis had attempted to flee the attacks. He spoke to the families of those taken hostage by Hamas, attended funerals and morgues, and covered the looting of Palestinians' homes in the West Bank. In this episode, Oren tells host Nicola Kelly about the attacks on 7 October, how it felt to come under fire from Hamas and what it has been like to cover the war from the frontline.

Ep 2: Olga Tokariuk

Ukrainian journalist Olga Tokariuk speaks to Nicola from a bomb shelter in the west of the country. She describes the tentacles of the Russian propaganda machine and the sophisticated disinformation war that has been waged in Ukraine since 2014; journalist safety, including the deliberate targeting of journalists and those killed, kidnapped and disappeared; and how best to get impartial information out to the world. Olga says: "War is not only waged on the battlefield with tanks and military vehicles and missiles and air defence systems; it's also waged in the media space. Russia has been waging this war against Ukraine since at least 2014, when it understood that Ukraine is slipping away from them and they are not able to control it the way they used to."

Ep 5: Iyad el-Baghdadi

On the second of October 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, arguably Saudi Arabia’s most prominent journalist and an outspoken critic of the country’s government, walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to collect documents he needed to get married. But he never reappeared. Investigators later concluded that Jamal Khashoggi had been ambushed, forcibly restrained, drugged and asphyxiated. His body was then dismembered, stuffed into bags and discarded by fifteen Saudi assassins connected to the crown prince, Mohammed bin-Salman, or MBS. Six months after the murder, Iyad el-Baghdadi, a prominent writer and a friend to Jamal Khashoggi, was visited by the Norwegian Security services at his home in Oslo, where they informed him that there was a credible threat to his life. Here he describes what happened and how his life has changed since then.

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.
