Also carries the counterweight: named digital-rights researchers on what mass collection means in a state that, in their words, 'jails and tortures journalists and political opposition figures, using surveillance information against them'.

The population figure and, more usefully, its method. Quotes Khaled Abbas, chairman and CEO of ACUD: 'more than 30,000 people now live in the city', with 50,000 to 60,000 expected by the end of the year 'based on applications for utility meter installations received by the company'. Also dates the project to March 2015 and gives 700 square kilometres across three phases, the first spanning 168.
Known limits of this passport
- Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
- Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
- A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
- The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
