In the winter 2020 issue, Masked by Covid: The underreported stories of 2020 that need to be heard, the Index on Censorship team delve into the most important stories that happened this year but were not given as much attention as they should due to a world and news cycle almost exclusively focused on the pandemic. We look at why people in Inner Mongolia are committing suicide, the election of leaders in Europe which spell trouble for our freedoms, a journalist killed in the Philippines with little outrage, an entire liberal arts university that was closed in Turkey - these stories and more from our award-winning journalists. Also an essay from John Gray, a call to action from British MP Tom Tugendhat, a debate on vaccine disinformation and an interview with Bianca Jagger.
When Hong Kong passed the National Security Law at the end of June, many things disappeared in the city overnight. Some were long-held principles of democracy and free speech; others were more tangible things, as Oliver Farry writes, like books on the protest movement, posters promoting an independent Hong Kong, and people who either fled the city or were arrested. But Hong Kong is not the only place in the world where things are disappearing. Across the border in China, Rushan Abbas does not know where her sister is, a Uighur who has vanished in China's vast network of concentration camps. In Europe, countless perish in the Mediterranean Sea, their graves unmarked, as Alessio Perrone investigates. Some are trying to find answers. Laura Silvia Battaglia speaks to a film director whose new documentary on Syria's disappeared traces two heart-breaking stories. And some are trying to stop answers being out of reach, as Jessica Ni Mhainin explores when she talks to people from Ireland who are fighting to keep archives about historic child abuse open. Outside the special report we have a new short story from Lisa Appignanesi, we ask Donald Trump voters from 2016 whether he has listened to those "forgotten Americans" and a look at how street art has been used during Covid-19 for important political statements. ---publisher's website
