After 4 wonderful years at the BBC, today is my last day. I was the BBC’s first female OSINT expert, the only female conflict journalist with a weapons specialism, and still the only woman of colour in this role. (1/6) It’s been quite the journey. I started in 2018 at BBC Newsnight and then went to work on investigative docs for BBC Arabic & Eye exposing war crimes in Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and human rights abuses in Bahrain, Iran, the Gulf, Russia, China.

But in September, on the way to the airport to catch her flight to the United Kingdom, Sophia and fellow activist Wang Jianbing “vanished.” (2/8)
