The record is what reached us and passed review. Thin coverage in a province reflects reporting conditions and access as much as the underlying situation, and absence of incidents is not evidence of absence of violations. No figure here is a national total.
How grades work
A verified-or-not badge cannot separate an event three outlets witnessed from one a channel mentioned. We publish the grade with the incident.
Human rights work runs on donations
AHRC is funded almost entirely by people who give a little every month. It is the one kind of support no government can switch off.
