Heading down to Bristol for this today with Jelena Obradovic. We had the absolute honour of sharing our research on borders and bordering with the Paperbirds team and of seeing some of the rehearsals, can’t wait to see the final piece today in a theatre!

Message from These Walls Must Fall Organiser: 'We are outside the immigration reporting centre in Manchester. The press are here and asking migrants questions about their immigration histories. We advise you not to give your details, unless you are 100% sure it is safe to do so.’

The no. of people travelling through the Balkans to claim asylum in Europe hit its highest since 2015 last year – & the route is now more deadly

We've found that a growing number of bodies of those attempting the journey are piling up in morgues or being buried without a trace

The hostility that migrants & #AsylumSeekers face at the borders of Europe in life, continues into death.

It’s been a privilege to be part of this Lighthouse Reports investigation about #dead and #missing migrants in the Balkans, w/ May Bulman Jack Sapoch Klaas van Dijken et al
