6/8 The construction of the wall began in 2021 in the Çaldıran district and moved southwards to the districts of Özalp, Saray, and Başkale. By 2026, it covered 204 km out of the 295 km border with Iran. Over 220 km of roads were built to support access to the wall and patrolling.

4/8 Satellite images show the emergence of the towers between 2020 and 2024, in many locations next to existing observation towers. Pylons equipped with cameras and radars monitor movement both in the territory of Iran and the Van borderland. The system also includes seismic sensors.

How to build a deadly border: Deaths in border rivers remote forests and mountains are not isolated incidents but the result of policies that deliberately weaponize hostile landscapes against people on the move. (1/3)

1/5 Our research exposes how Croatian authorities change and destroy environments for border surveillance and pushbacks. In addition to the placement of surveillance technology, roads are constructed in forests to allow quick intervention.

1/3 This testimony describes a pushback from Croatia to Bosnia on the 16th of October 2023. Nature is weaponized to directly inflict harm against people on the move, while allowing authorities to evade accountability.

Our UN Advocacy coordinator Kirsten was representing BVMN at the International Migration Review Forum this year. This is only the second that the Forum is convening - this time at the UN Headquarters in New York.

7/8 The wall, 3m high and 2.8m wide, is made of concrete blocks transported to the border and is topped with barbed wire. Built after other infrastructures, it takes on unusual shapes in some areas where it surrounds pre-existing surveillance pylons and observation towers.

1/2 Last month, our United Nations Advocacy Coordinator spoke at a panel titled "Protecting Migrants’ Rights at Borders" organised by the @fesonline.bsky.social on the margins of the 59th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council. These were his closing remarks.

1/4 New Report Out Today! The Croatian-Bosnian border has become a site of frequent border deaths, with many drowning in rivers and others going missing in mountainous and forested areas. This is not a coincidence but the result of deliberate weaponization of a hostile borderscape.

Last month, researcher Dan Schoolar presented findings from his research into border technologies in Serbia as part of the "Invisible Borders" project, funded by the Svenska Postkodlotteriets Stiftelse (Swedish postcode lottery foundation). www.invisibleborders.org

I offered an amendment in today’s @democrats-edworkforce.house.gov bill markup that would prevent kickbacks like luxury vacations and large cash payments paid by health insurance middlemen to brokers and consultants, which Congress brought to light in 2021 but did not prohibit. (1/2)
