In this episode of FRACTURED Gabriela delves into her investigative story “Widowed by Europe’s Borders”, which follows Sanooja’s desperate search for her husband Sanrim after he went missing in the forest following an illegal pushback by Lithuanian authorities. Their story, as a Sri Lankan couple navigating Europe’s border regime, sheds light on the struggles faced by countless migrants and the staggering toll of over 30,000 lives lost at Europe’s borders in the past decade, most in complete obscurity. Together with ReFOCUS co-founder Douglas Herman Gabriela reflects on the ethical challenges of reporting such sensitive stories, the personal bonds formed in the process, and the broader implications of Europe’s migration policies. She underscores the importance of humanizing these experiences and fighting for justice for families of the missing, affirming that all people deserve dignity and human rights, even after death.
