This week's TIME LightBox Spread: A drone view, taken by photographer Mauro Pimentel, captures what remains of Brazil's National Museum in Rio de Janeiro on Sept. 3, the day after a devastating fire tore through the building. The fire's origin is still being investigated, but many in Brazil see its true cause as neglect of a 200-year-old institution that lacked even a sprinkler system. Although officials have promised to reconstruct the building, most of its 20 million artifacts and artworks are lost forever. One scientist, frustrated by futile efforts to safeguard the collection, declared the blaze "a tragedy foretold."

Faces in the Darkness: The Victims of ’Non-Lethal’ Weapons in Kashmir | https://ti.me/2MS1oWB

At first glance, their scars look like pockmarks. Some have their eyes closed; others have a far-away look, eyes glazed over. They could be gazing out at a distant view. But these Kashmiri men, women and children aren’t looking at anything. The darkness that surrounds them in Camillo Pasquarelli's photographs surrounds them in life, too; they are all fully or partially blind.

Their injuries weren’t caused by ordinary bullets. Security forces in the disputed region of Kashmir haven’t used those to police demonstrations since 2010, when they fired on protesters and killed 112 people. International outcry followed, prompting the Indian government to supply regional police and the army with pellet guns they called “non-lethal.”
