Since last summer I've been investigating reports of widespread sexual abuse within a secretive Christian church known as The Truth. Last month I called an ex-minister accused of sexually abusing a boy for six years, and he agreed to talk. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…

Amazing reporting by George Wright and such brave victims who have been through unimaginable horrors. At least 1000 of them identifying 700 perpetrators across the world - this is huge.

Brilliant investigation and reporting by our alumni George Wright. Over 1000 victims and the uncovering of many perpetrators around the world - a huge result for the brave victims who have been through such horrors. #Journalismmatters

According to CamboJA News the VERY independent journalist Mech Dara seems to have been arrested in Sre Ambel. May all his friends keep an eye on this.

Mech Dara, the most fearless journalist in Cambodia, was arrested today -- whereabouts unknown hours later. Absolute beast of a reporter who dug into corruption, human trafficking, etc. Also loved by all who have worked with him. Hope he's released soon. facebook.com/share/p/nqy4Np…

Mech Dara was arrested yesterday. Trips with him are filled with these looks over the shoulder before he charges ahead, itching to get the story. But more than his tenacity or courage, being a nice guy’s what makes him the best. He can talk to anyone, and they want to talk to him

some of my favorite pics of Mech Dara being himself: forever on a moto, eating something delicious, sticking his head out of windows, talking to anyone & everyone, & the time he tried to fix a car with a rock. journalism is not a crime. he is the best of the best. #FreeMechDara

For me it is a year of nostalgia for a quiet morning starts with taking the kids to school, talking to my neighbors about last night’s football match walking on the beach… I waited a whole year and that beautiful morning never came . Yes, we are alive, but we are not well.

Journalist Mech Dara seeks blessing from a monk in a pagoda in Phnom Penh after he was released on bail this afternoon. Interestingly, he was dressed in a white t-shirt bearing the words “wanna go fishing”. #Mechdara #Kiripost
