When journalist Abelardo Liz was shot during a confrontation between soldiers and protesters at a land rights demonstration in Colombia in August 2020 he did not immediately drop his camera or stop filming; he held on to it as he fell to the ground and then handed it to someone else so the filming could continue.
The sound of the bullets recorded by Abelardo and by others at the scene provides new clues about the fatal shooting.
The shooting lasted 67 seconds and when it ended three people had been shot, two fatally-including Abelardo.
Bellingcat and @revistacerosetenta have analysed the audio and video evidence, combined with autopsy and ballistic reports and soldiers' testimonies and uncovered significant inconsistencies in the army's account of events.

![Call Between Alexey Navalny and FSB Officer Konstantin Kudryavtsev [Russian Subtitles]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nRku_Kn5aUU/mqdefault.jpg "Call Between Alexey Navalny and FSB Officer Konstantin Kudryavtsev [Russian Subtitles]
Full call between Navalny and one of the FSB officers in the team to trail and eventually poison him, Konstantin Kudryavtsev.
Before the publication of our recent joint investigation into the FSB officers involved in the operation to poison him in Tomsk, Navalny decided to call two members of the poison squad, Mikhail Shvets and Konstantin Kudryavtsev, by impersonating a senior security official. To both of these officers, Navalny introduced himself as a fictional character: Maxim Ustinov, an “aide to [Chairman of Russia’s Security Council] Nikolai Patrushev”. The premise of the call was that Navalny - playing the role of “Maxim Ustinov”, would ask the officers for an oral report on the reasons for the failure of the Navalny poisoning operation.
Over forty minutes, Kudryavtsev answered questions from Navalny whose voice he didnt recognize regarding the failed operation.")
