In this episode, we talk to Forensic Architecture, a research agency based at Goldsmiths, University of London, renowned for investigating human rights violations globally.

We speak to one of Forensic Architecture’s Lead Researchers (who will not be named), about the dire situation in Gaza since Israel’s siege began. They talk about the work they are doing to use evidence-based research to uncover the truth and document human rights abuses as the death toll of civilians reaches 10,000 people in one month.

The conversation continues to talk more about Forensic Architecture’s work in Gaza as well as the West Bank and Israel. The team have released preliminary analysis to cast doubt on Israel’s claim that they were not responsible for bombing of Al-Ahli Hospital on 17 October 2023. Using techniques including visual analysis, sound, testimonials, and more, Forensic Architecture were also able to provide evidence in the murder of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh as well as uncover invisible tactics of occupation including the lost mass graves in Tantura from 1948, and the herbicidal warfare against Gaza.
