España vive un desastre ecológico en el lago salado más grande de Europa. Una investigación revela el rol de la huidiza industria porcina y las granjas de cerdos, y la miopía y negligencias de las autoridades para evitar el desastre. #MarMenor Image
Usando técnicas forenses, fotos de drones e imágenes de satélite, combinadas con peticiones de información, reporterismo en terreno y entrevistas, aparece la panorámica de polución a gran escala, crímenes medioambientales y fallos de las autoridades a todos los niveles
.@LHreports, junto con @guardian, @eldiarioes y @lamarea_com examinan hasta qué punto la demanda de carne barata –con granjas porcinas intensivas– contribuyeron a este desastre en la Región de #Murcia

Spain has been gripped by the eco-disaster in Europe’s largest salt lagoon. In a new investigation we reveal the role played by runaway industrial pork farming & the repeated refusal by authorities to tackle it #MarMenor Image
Using forensic techniques like drone photography to satellite imagery in tandem with FOIA requests & ground reporting a disturbing picture emerges of large-scale pollution, environmental crimes & official failures at all levels
@LHreports in a joint investigation w/@guardian, @eldiarioes & @lamarea_com examines the extent to which the drive for cheap meat through intensive pork farming contributed to the disaster in #Murcia

EU governments deny the existence of a violent campaign by masked men to turn away asylum seekers at EU borders. A months-long investigation by @LHreports & leading media unmasks these groups, reveals who commands & finances them
Our reporting shows that these clandestine forces aren't masked vigilantes but police units who report to EU governments. The operations are denied in public but financed & equipped from EU budgets
We captured these ‘shadow armies’ on film by @LHreports in a joint investigation w/ Swiss TV #srfrundschau @derspiegel @ARDstudioWien @Novossti @pointer_kroncrv @ARD_Presse #Monitor @disinfaux @libe @vijestihr in Croatia, Romania & Greece

Europe’s border agency #Frontex not only ignored human rights abuses, its director asked his employees to cover them up & delete evidence, a report by the European Parliament concludes.
The report builds upon investigations done by @LHreports and partners
spiegel.de/ausland/geflue…
With our partners @dwnews @trouw @bellingcat @guardian we showed in April last year how asylum seekers in Greece on the mainland & islands were forced back to Turkey, denied the right claim asylum. These pushback operations are against international law. bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
We also proved in cooperation with @DerSpiegel @reportmainz @guardian that the Greek coastguard puts asylum seekers, who already arrived on the islands on life rafts and left them adrift in Turkish waters. swr.de/report/brutale…

Surveillance is a matter of life & death in Myanmar. What role did European companies & EU funds play in providing the military junta with the spy tech it used to counter mass protest against the coup it staged

@LHreports investigates>> Image
About the consequences of being tracked in #Myanmar, one former detainee told us: ‘There were detainees from the student unions, they were taken away with black hoods over their heads and they didn’t come back’
The #Myanmar military capacity to track its compatriots has been enhanced by EU companies & EU subsidies. Firms like swedish #MSAB and Italian SecurCube appear in leaked Myanmar ministerial budget documents we obtained
