Yesterday, we learned that two projects on which we collaborated have been nominated for @FestivalGabo awards in the "Innovation" category #PremioGabo
@FestivalGabo The Miroslava Project, in collaboration with Colectivo 23 de Marzo, @CLIP_AmericaLat, and @FbdnStories, explored the 2017 murder of Miroslava Breach, a journalist killed for her work investigating links between local politicians and drug cartels.

@FestivalGabo @CLIP_AmericaLat @FbdnStories Together with @Newsy, @cerosetenta and @LigaNoSilencio, we identified the police officer who shot Dilan Cruz, a student killed during a protest in Bogota in 2019.

We're looking for open source images of the moment when Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick was attacked on January 6th, which eventually led to his death, continuing efforts started by @No_Nazis_Please
We are looking for images of this location, where we currently believe Sicknick was first attacked. These images will help establish the exact timeline of events, and hopefully a clearer picture of what exactly happened. Image
This image by @SusieQFortineux gives a better sense of the location where this incident took place. With enough images it may be possible to establish a timeline of events that goes back to when the police barricades were passed. Image

A quick Sunday morning #geolocation challenge. This image was shared on Reddit claiming to show the police officer killed during the events at the Capitol on January 6th. Can anyone find the exact location it was taken? Image
If we can find the location we can then review the video footage collected to see if it's possible to make a positive identification and discover more footage from around the time he was killed.
We do not know the original source of this image, only that it was posted on Reddit, so there may be a higher quality version from a wire service.

The Washington Post takes a look at the work of Bellingcat, in particular focusing on the sources we used in our recent investigation into the poisoning of @navalny, which exposed the FSB's involvement in the poisoning washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi…
Part one of our Navalny investigation used phone records, flight records, various leaked databases, and other leaked information to show the FSB poisoning team followed Navalny of multiple trips and tried to poison him more than once bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
Along with that article we published a piece looking at the sources used in that investigation, including the Russian data market bellingcat.com/resources/2020…

Ashli Babbitt was shot and later died after she attempted to enter the Speaker's Lobby inside the Capitol on January 6.

We've retraced the shooting as well as Babbitt's ideological journey from Obama voter to MAGA and QAnon follower.bellingcat.com/uncategorized/…
Babbitt attended the Stop the Steal rally and heard President Trump speak. Afterwards, she joined thousands of people in marching to the Capitol, which she eventually entered.

Open source footage captured some of her movements inside the building prior to the shooting.
She was part of a group that eventually reached the Capitol's second floor. Footage from at least four different sources captured her in a mob that attempted to break through a door into the Speaker's Lounge, which leads into the Hall of the House of Representatives.

A mail server vulnerability has publicly exposed more than a year’s worth of email logs, as well as highlighted security and infrastructure issues, faced by the administrators and maintainers of controversial websites such as 8kun. bellingcat.com/news/2021/01/0…
The logs, which were publicly visible before the vulnerability was patched last month, show thousands of email contacts made by 8kun administrators as well as by an address that appears to belong to 8kun owner Jim Watkins.
The logs show that, among other things, Watkins has been in regular contact with a number of QAnon enthusiasts as well as several influencers with large followings in the conspiracy movement.
