Adding to that: V. excited to be on the board of The Commonwealth Media Freedom Trust from this year. We look forward to building a strong network of journalists across the Commonwealth.
Last night at the House of Lords, The Commonwealth Media Freedom Trust, presented RPT's Patron Lord Black with the Astor Award 2025, recognising his outstanding and longstanding commitment to media freedom in the UK and across the Commonwealth.
Lord Black said, “the battle for press freedom is never won, it takes constant effort, strong partnerships and real resolve."
Delighted to see RPT alum Surabhi Tandon @ihbarus has joined their Board of Trustees.
Produced and directed this for @bbgoriginals

@elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump have insisted that
@DOGE's @USAID cuts wouldn't have lasting consequences. Our investigation found the opposite.

When we began reporting this story for @Channel4News, @Wangchuk66 was still detained under the NSA. While his wife - the brave & brilliant @GitanjaliAngmo was leading the legal fight to bring him home. On March 13, Mr. Wangchuk was - without any explanation from #GOI - released..
A great relief. But w/o any solution. Ladakh’s demands for #SixthSchedule & #Statehood remain unresolved. Will future talks finally deliver? Or will Ladakhis still have to ask if they will be granted the same democratic rights as the rest of the #citizens of #India?
