In England, the issue of migrants crossing the Channel to seek asylum is hotly debated, and increasingly controversial. Some believe that the country is too generous, even that London does not tell the truth about the number of arrivals on English soil. Marie Billon went to meet two of these “worried citizens” as they present themselves, who spend their days observing the Channel to count and denounce the arrivals.
War in Ukraine: the issue of documents accessible on the Internet for international justice
To judge war crimes, the collection of evidence is a major issue. And for that, since the war in Syria, the information that can be obtained on the web has become at least as important as that collected on the ground. In recent years, human rights NGOs have therefore had to adapt. In Berlin, two years ago, HRW created a Digital Investigations Office, the digital investigation lab. Deborah Berlioz met the director of this lab, Sam Dubberley, in Berlin.
World Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia or Biphobia: in Europe, much remains to be done

France, a country where prison overcrowding is systemic
In France, on April 1, 2022, the prison population exceeded 71,000 prisoners. This is 9% more than last year (2021) and a record since the Second World War. But the most worrying thing is that there are currently less than 67,000 places in prison. In France, prison overcrowding is systemic, resulting in increasingly degraded detention conditions for prisoners and increasingly difficult working conditions for their supervisors.
