COLLECTION QUESTIONS

What to watch

Questions for follow-up research, not reports that these events have occurred. Confirm changes through dated primary sources and independent reporting.

Security and judicial reporting

Which reported arrests, charges or operations are confirmed? Keep allegations distinct from convictions and claims distinct from verified effects.

Regional and civilian conditions

What verified changes affect border areas, local governance, displacement or access to essential services?
