    This is the first detention center being built for illegal migrants in #Assam, India after 2m people were left off the state’s updated registry of citizens. But with the passage of the new religion-based #CAA, Muslims here fear this camp is intended only for them. πŸ“Έ @ahmermkhan

    This Sunday on #ViceonSho - we look at the rise of Hindu nationalism in India and the growing concern over how this movement is affecting the country's ~200m Muslims. What we saw reporting on the ground was eye-opening... an important and underreported story.

    (1/2) Tomorrow night, our report from #Raqqa airs on #ViceonHBO. In the film, you watch this masked man, a civilian, bravely defuse one of the 1000s of landmines ISIS left behind. He told us he did this work for the children, often the ones injured or killed by these mines.

    (2/2) This morning, I got word he was killed while defusing another mine in Raqqa city center. His name was Abaadi Al-Shokan. He left behind a wife and 3 children, and the unknowable number of people in Raqqa who owe their lives to him. Ψ±Ψ­Ω…Ψ© Ψ§Ω„Ω„Ω‡ ΨΉΩ„ΩŠΩ‡

    So shocking and horrifying. Please cut through our collective outrage fatigue to watch this, because what's happening to #uighurs in #China is of historic proportions. Forced abortions, detainment, kidnapping. All the awards for @IsobelYeung @NicoleBozorgmir @paulasalhany + team.
    Internment camps. Orwellian surveillance. Silence. @IsobelYeung goes undercover in a special report that reveals how China is oppressing the Muslim minority Uighur people in horrific conditions. Watch β€œThey Come For Us At Night” right now bit.ly/2Xd3QMK

    Despite the public spotlight the #MeToo has shone on sexual #consent, the truth is so many of us are confused about what, exactly, that means. @IsobelYeung and I spent weeks asking hard questions about consent and accountability- please watch our special airing Friday #ViceonHBO
    The #MeToo reckoning has impacted everythingβ€”from SCOTUS nominees and workplace culture to sex and dating. This week on #VICEonHBO, @IsobelYeung takes a personal look at how we define sexual consent, hold those who violate it accountable, and move forward. Friday at 11PM EDT.
