Trending

Available for over a year

Abdul Sattar Mukandar from India went to Saudi Arabia to work as a driver. He sent a video explaining his working conditions to an activist in India who posted it online where it was seen by millions. His employers denied his allegations and took legal action against Abdul Sattar under a Saudi social media law. A photo taken during the anti-government protests in Brazil began an online debate of the country’s racial and economic divide. Produced by Anisa Subedar. Photo credit: Amer Hilabi/AFP/Getty Images
