Burma - Conflict in Karen State Case Study Report

URL: http://shr.aaas.org/geotech/burma/burma.shtml

In collaboration with several Burmese human rights groups, AAAS reviewed satellite imagery to corroborate reports of attacks on villages in Karen State, Shan State, and Thailand that were conducted by the ruling military junta. Within the areas of imagery analyzed, the bulk of these sites (18) were removed villages or villages with removed structures, with other sites including military camps (4), possible forcibly relocated villages (2), and one refugee camp on the Thai border.
