Investigation launched into death at Burning Man, with thousands still stranded in Nevada desert after flooding_我的网站
A | One person died at the Burning Man festival this weekend as a severe bout of rain caused flooding in the remote Nevada desert where the event was being held, authorities said. This comes as tens of thousands of attendees remained stranded Sunday. The Pershing County Sheriff's Office confirmed it is investigating the death in a news release issued Saturday, and said the family has been notified both of the death and the active probe. A spokesperson for the sheriff's office told CBS News on Sunday that the death occurred during the extreme rain that swept through parts of northwestern Nevada on Friday and Saturday, but not because of it. The earlier news release noted that the office "is currently investigating a death which occurred during this rain event." Echoing the release, the spokesperson declined to share additional information about the death or circumstances surrounding it because the sheriff's investigation was still ongoing.Tents between puddles and mud on the grounds of the "Burning Man" festival on Sept. 3, 2023, in the Nevada desert.

Officials urged Burning Man attendees to shelter in place on Saturday and Sunday after storms soaked the Black Rock Desert, a dried lake bed now composed of alkali flats that sits in a remote and arid section of northwestern Nevada, about 150 miles from Reno. The Burning Man entrance was shut down Saturday and would remain closed for the remainder of the event, Washoe County Sheriff's Office tweeted. Anyone attempting to travel to the area would be turned around. The Pershing County Sheriff's Office noted Saturday that festival operations were being "halted or significantly delayed...due to unusual weather conditions on the playa."
Roads in and out of the festival remained closed Sunday evening, and festival organizers urged attendees to conserve food, water and fuel. Cell phone equipment was also brought in to help those stuck in flooded campsites.

Some attendees were reportedly seen trudging through the muddy desert in efforts to leave the festival on foot, according to the Associated Press.The organizers of Burning Man said in a statement Saturday night that people who decide to walk out of the desert would be provided bus transportation to Reno from Gerlach, which is about 15 miles from the site of Black Rock City. "Burning Man is a community of people who are prepared to support one another. We have come here knowing this is a place where we bring everything we need to survive. It is because of this that we are all well-prepared for a weather event like this," the statement read.
"We have done table-top drills for events like this. We are engaged full-time on all aspects of safety and looking ahead to our Exodus as our next priority," the statement continued. Exodus is how Burning Man refers to the end of the festival, when all attendees leave the desert."The Burning Man organization's advice is for participants to delay their departures to avoid getting stuck in the mud, but people are free to leave should they choose to do so," organizers said. On the Burning Man website, organizers said they were hoping to reopen roads by 9 a.m. local time Monday. "It was really, really wet and really, really slick," stranded attendee Justin Schuman told CBS News of the muddy conditions in a video interview Sunday from his campsite. "But it's also very alkaline. So you do have to be careful for no prolonged exposure of your skin to the mud because, apparently it can actually start to really, gently burn your skin."Schuman said he and his friends had enough supplies to make it through a few more days. "We are not allowed out of the playa, the gates are locked, we have enough tuna for a week," said Christine Lee, a circus performer, on social media.The area serves as the annual locale for Burning Man, a weeklong event that typically draws tens of thousands of people "to create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance," according to a passage in the "about" section on the festival's website. Event organizers require attendees "to bring all you need to survive" to the desert, including food, water and shelter, which can be shared.
The Reno Gazette Journal reported Saturday that organizers started rationing ice sales and that all vehicle traffic at the sprawling festival grounds had been stopped, leaving portable toilets unable to be serviced.

Maxar Technologies via AP The Pershing County Sheriff's Office was coordinating with several agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management and Burning Man Org, to assist attendees sheltering in place at the event site. The sheriff's office spokesperson told CBS News on Sunday that "they are all working together to try to get everybody out of there safely," at least in part using vehicles with four-wheel drive. It was unclear whether other transportation methods were being used too."There had been mild to heavy rain for several hours, causing conditions that made it virtually impossible for motorized vehicles to traverse the playa," the sheriff's office said in Saturday's news release, adding that it supports Burning Man's decision to order attendees to shelter in place and noting, "There is more rain forecast for the next few days which could cause further delays and disruptions for participants attempting to leave the Festival as well as other operations within the Festival." In addition to small groups of people who were able to walk off the event site and were "awaiting transport" arranged by Burning Man at the time the release was issued, the office said "some vehicles have been able to drive off the playa, however, those vehicles have caused damage to the playa surface, and it is not recommended at this time."
B | 从图上可以看到，第一个阶段，舆论场的讨论主要围绕“救援”展开——1月5日深夜，王星女友通过社交平台求助，此后几天，网友都在接力转发。1月8日之后，舆论场开始出现大量“内部曝光”的帖文，称找到了王星事件的“幕后老板”——“金老虎”。这个人，被形容为是“来自缅甸最大的劳务中介”。与此同时，泰国警方也初步确认王星是人口贩卖受害者。10日，舆论场集中出现的热门关键词为“妙瓦底”，并且被定义为了一个新的“诈骗聚集地”。总结起来，从舆论讨论的趋势来看，重点已经由对王星个体的关注，变成了对整个妙瓦底以及电诈的关注，由此也衍生了一系列的疑惑：电诈为何屡禁不止？这样的疑问有一个重要背景是，一直以来，“电诈”都集中在缅北地区。而妙瓦底，位于缅甸东南部。实际上，早在2021年，西南政法大学的谢玲教授就指出，“电诈”的窝点是动态变化的，诈骗团伙会选择更适合窝点发展和成本低的地方迁移。而妙瓦底，正是诈骗团队的迁移目的地之一。谢玲给谭主总结了妙瓦底的几个特点：首先是妙瓦底的地理位置，妙瓦底是缅甸与泰国交界的边境城市。妙瓦底的公路连接泰国曼谷和缅甸仰光，其水路，则是泰国到缅甸最便捷的水上运输通道。也就是说，妙瓦底很适合藏匿，也适合偷渡，这也意味着，它适合诈骗团伙的人员发展。其次，妙瓦底的赌博业发达，实体赌场很多，这也会为电诈集团洗钱提供更多的渠道。还有一个原因，是妙瓦底的生活成本低。西南政法大学教授谢玲：在妙瓦底北部的别墅区中，300多平米的办公楼月租在15-25万人民币左右，比缅北办公用房月租约低5-10万元人民币，同时，妙瓦底的外勤人力成本也处在缅甸的最低水平线以下，这样的犯罪成本支出，完全在诈骗团伙的承受范围之内。
C | 诈骗团伙的逃窜与隐匿，也与公安部门的严厉打击有关系。1月初，公安部通报称，自2023年7月部署开展打击缅北涉我电信网络诈骗犯罪专项工作以来，公安部依托中缅执法安全合作机制，指挥云南、浙江等多地公安机关联合作战。目前，缅北果敢地区规模化电诈园区被全部铲除。其他的一些电诈团队，只能往腹地逃窜——妙瓦底。在看到中缅联合执法行动后，谭主也注意到，舆论场现在也出现一种声音：我们为什么不在妙瓦底执法？中国人民公安大学侦查学院副教授王晓伟：中国警方在境外没有执法权，联合执法需要通过国际警务合作的渠道来开展。
D | 而开展联合执法的前提，是中方已经对诈骗案件进行了研判和侦查，在掌握了一定信息后，再将这些信息提供给诈骗窝点所在国警方，发出联合打击的请求。其次是，在掌握相关信息后，联合执法也需要走一定流程。
E | 就拿中缅对缅北的行动来说，先是外交部和我驻缅大使馆积极做工作，在这之后，公安部派出工作组赴缅甸开展国际警务执法合作。
F | 公安部工作组与缅方进行了多轮会谈磋商，就联合打击电信网络诈骗犯罪等事项达成一致。
G | 随后，中缅双方连续开展多轮打击行动，临近我边境的缅北地区规模化电诈园区才被全部铲除。谭主了解到，目前，中方正在开展调查。在掌握了足够的信息后，接下来，就是行动。
