Here's a sneak peak of my latest doc for @AJ101East- an exclusive investigation put together with the help of a fantastic and dedicated team. As #Myanmar drops from the headlines I hope this exposes the military's sinister actions and reminds us they're not to be underestimated.
In this exclusive, @AJ101East teams up with @ForensicArchi to recreate a secret interrogation centre in Myanmar using witness testimony and satellite images. aje.io/stateoffear
