Watching Myanmar from Above
AAAS Report
As it has done in Darfur and other crisis zones, the American Association for the Advancement of Science has conducted an analysis of high-resolution satellite images in Myanmar.
It "pinpoints evidence consistent with village destruction, forced relocations, and a growing military presence at 25 sites across eastern Burma where eye-witnesses have reported human rights violations," the study says.
This study, which has been underway for more than a year, does not document the current uprising in the cities, but rather tracks the ongoing campaign by Myanmar's security forces in the countryside.
