§ 02The intake form
You don't need a complete file. A name, a city, an arrest date, or a screenshot is enough to start. Editors translate, verify, and publish — your identity stays out of the record unless you ask otherwise.
Each submission moves through four review stages. We keep you informed at every step — or we keep your identity out of every step.
Your form posts over an encrypted connection. We never store your IP, fingerprint, or referrer.
We cross-check against Memorial, OVD-Info, Viasna, court filings, and independent reporting. We may write back with a clarifying question.
Articles cited are run through our charge-inflation engine. Editors read every narrative; nothing is published on AI's word alone.
Translated, structured, and published to the public database — with the redactions you asked for. The case enters our advocacy and embassy-letter pipelines automatically.
That's enough. We'll start matching against published reporting and write back if we need clarification — you just need to point us at the right name.
Never, unless you explicitly ask us to credit you. Anonymous is the default — even our editors won't see your contact unless you provide it.
Yes. We take extra care with self-submissions: no public credit, editorial contact only, and you control which details are published.
We'll write back (if you've left a contact) explaining what's missing. Cases we can't independently verify are kept in a private editorial queue and never published until corroborated.
Public reporting from organizations such as Memorial, OVD-Info, Viasna, plus court filings, press, and NGO records. We do not have formal partnerships with these organizations.
The case enters our public registry and the advocacy pipeline — embassy letter templates and the daily digest sent to subscribers. Editors will keep working the file as new information comes in.
