1/8 From the late 2000s to the mid-2010s, the Turkish state built new military outposts, known as kalekol, and new observation towers equipped with surveillance technologies. The satellite images show the emergence of a kalekol in the Çaldıran district between 2010 and 2015.

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.

Technological and physical infrastructures which aim at inhibiting and detecting movement. This map, designed by a volunteer of the BVMN Research & Investigations team, visualises the assemblage of infrastructures present at the Van border

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.

5/8 Since 2018, interventions by the Turkish state have radically changed the landscape. Ditches, 3-metres deep and surrounded by barbed wire, appeared in the late 2010s. More were dug in parallel with the wall. At places, satellite imagery shows up to four rows of ditches.

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.

1/4 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.

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.

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.

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.

Allowing a man who ran a factional org that broke the law when it channelled secret cash to fund Starmers rise, & which then ran a smear campaign against journalists investigating its role, to opine on whats gone wrong for Labour & the need to come together, is frankly absurd.

This President hasn't made us safer— he's only created chaos and fear. However, in these moments of chaos are stories of everyday Americans' extraordinary strength. Tonight, my guest for the State of the Union is one of those Americans, Maria Mesias-Tatnall. Hear her story:
