a death certificate which said he died in a bike accident. those who contradict the official narrative are threatened on state media channels. as was the case involving zone me at lyn another l. d. official. authorities claim he jumped off his building while trying to escape arrest. but his family say his body showed signs of torture. on a hook we had, so i'm in my home and i have done it. and i need a need for you to attend the super on john triple as he knows all the way towards your adding a dodo sample. now, poto, b, t o r a g u e. some good marks are due today as you know in this climate of fear c to monk main concern now is for the living. the military is targeting the family members of dissidence and hiding,

including his own need of our yeah, we'll, we'll know. we'll change. i will need people are, they will be up to my people, my dreams not coming to get the line for minute change. i'll be his father was taken away and charged with inciting civil disobedience. he is now locked up in young guns, notorious insane prison, which has thousands of political prisoners when the military was lost in power. do you fear that your father will suffer the same fate that came on lat suffered she? bye bye. don't. is it a full c o choice sardina idea? yes. a young movie allow a jump because that movie uneven, and more

than 6000 people have been detained. since the curve and 80 percent of them remain in custody. wayne in point turns father mia a, was arrested in the early hours of the day of the takeover. a security camera captured the moment when 5 soldiers took away the 55 year old actor. what do you mind if we had no idea where he was being detained or where he was? there were a lot of roommates. some people were saying, oh, he was being integrated. he was being torture. and some even said he died. but now we know you're in same prison, he's been charts, he's on trial wayne in works the burma campaign u. k. advocating for political prisoners and me ama in the beginning of the cur. there were moments, but i thought maybe i needed to stop talking. i needed to stop speaking out because i didn't want my family to be in danger. but collectively we decided that,

you know, i have the voice and i should use it. she's increasingly concerned about the number of arrests by the military and on state tv. new warrants read out every night and mug shot shows some of those who've been detained to try is a new goal. when in fears that some are being held in interrogation centers and tortured in the past, when people were arrested, they were never sent to prison straight away. they were being sent to integration center and being torture for days. we know there are facilities around the country . we don't know or where exactly, but that is really an indication that we are going back to dark ages using my contacts. i track time 3 people who say they were taken to a facility in north young gong after being violently detained. 30 people just be me

quite badly and dragged me on the road for about a 100 meters. and i think i lost consciousness. the tide, our hands from the back and he put us in the car. nobody knew where we're moving. so we just like say, ok, we're going to die. everyone was afraid. i've been hearing rumors about an army compound in shapes. a township on the outskirts of young gun prison, the transport vehicles have been photographed coming in and out of the facility, escorted by security cars. but no one seemed search. and what's really going on there to investigate this covert facility. further, i take the evidence. i've gathered to forensic architecture a research agency at the university of london. so we can, the cation, son is a project coordinator here, part of a team that investigates cases of state violence and human rights violations. so

usually when we investigate incident, we are looking for photographs, testimony, satellite imagery, which will bring together in a 3 d model. in order to investigate and analyze crime. a local resident sent me 2 photographs of the main entrance facility. we identify key features in the photography in our industry as well, based on the shadows, the costs in the ground. so they sell power behind the gate, invisible in it's triangular shadow cost on the ground here. and then there's these 2 utility poles, one in front of the gate, and one behind the gate, which again visible their shadows. when we imagine 3 d, this godson extra level verification, the former detainees helped his pinpoint the precise location where they were held within the compound. the building is very,

very new. like i think it was just dofer's only satellite images show, the facility appears unused in november 2019 but a year later, just a week before the qu, new rooms have been installed, matching detainees, description and foot 5 to the buildings and match at the same time, cars and green military trucks appear to the north of the site. as a rest increased in february and march, the foot paths become clearer, suggesting their being regularly used, and more vehicles appear. the detainees describe the inside of the facility. the building is, is one flaw quite bit. it's carrying about 200 people and they have 6 toilets. people were being brought in and sent away every day. but on average there is about 200 to 300 people regularly. it was so tight. some people had to sleep on tears because there was no more fro space. detainees tell us,

they were interrogated for hours. we have to shut up one. police then come in. we cannot look at each other. we have to put our hands on our head. he's just only look in front of you, like only 3 feet. it was 10 to 20 police man taking our information. the interrogate people one by one at the table. the big question all of us, until about 2 in the morning. everyone i speak to says targeted detainees were taken away to be interrogated separately when they were turned some showed signs of abuse. one of the girls they did a separate and her addition to her. and when she came back, we heard that they'd beat her legs with a bamboo stick. she was in so much pain. others were not seen again. they were one or 2 detainees from the student union. they were taken away with

black hoods over their hats, and they didn't come back me as allegations of human rights abuses mount. i visited the united nations t that is collecting evidence across the country in nicholas comb. jim had the independent investigative mechanism for me. emma, i believe that there is sufficient evidence for us to open this investigation about whether crimes against humanity have been committed by the security forces since the crew were very concerned with reports of torture, torture of courses or crime against humanity. and when people are targeted at night and randomly, it could be an indication that the objective is to create terror on the part of a civilian population. and this terror couldn't via crime against humanity. his team has been refused entry and to me,

but the collecting evidence recorded by citizens on mobile phone. and i think this creates a great opportunity for us to, to collect this evidence to help document crimes, to prove who is responsible for that crime. what's valuable in the criminal investigation is 1st hand evidence. we want to talk to people who actually saw or heard what happened. the turn that had a front row seat as violence escalated in the weeks following the king. an army captain who served for 12 years. he defected, also hearing reports of the military had been massacring civilians. he says, some soldiers, he's live ammunition instead of rubber bullets. i meant diana devoting but ended up doing it and see nathan to point out to tell him that you did a voice, you know, thing i mean the overview and there isn't i don't i don't know. but who donated

with janet hello to him. i did not tell it to him or not. the soldiers cut off from the general public living with their families in isolated army compounds. i think i have been out of breath or was already on or come to the illusion. i've got to do it. i don't know what kind of children don't be. i never do you live down of having a 10 ton one hour but is the crack town continues more soldiers desert their post? i contact another military defector. he took great risks to flee his barracks in march. forget it, and that was so while you beat on it,

you know, i did live between, you know, and then and like linda have for 13 years, rising to the rank of captain. he says, the brainwashing of soldiers begins, of the armies training academies. guy in the hulu thing, and i'm not going to call him and then he was home and he says he had a brutal practices taking place and interrogation centers who i need to kind of see if i need to go home. they said on the agenda, the agenda, not him,

but they are the only one of them. he tells us most enforce disappearances and interrogations, coordinated by the office of the chief of military security affairs known locally as the cya car. holy. but the new plan, you got a new man several another and i got the money to pay that money. i make a new job and it says the military is capacity to surveil and investigate should not be underestimated particularly online. she said, okay, i got that. that would be a good joint international him on the net,

doug attended on the me, emma has also been looking brought to build an arsenal of the most advanced cyber surveillance and data extraction tools. these plans are laid back in hundreds of leaked government documents and tenders. 11 east is examining these deals with lighthouse report and investigative journalism group faced in europe. thin lay when a journalist from emma is part of the team. what we've discovered is that there are roughly around 40 western companies that provides the kind of surveillance technology and forensic equipment that are linked to the mia mall, thora t's. we have been able to find some procurement documents that show that some of these products were important to me. among the budgets include software used to intercept calls and messages crack passwords,

extract and decrypt mobile data, and conduct facial recognition for the budget documents that we were looking at. where from 20 team 20192020. all of those came after the wave of violence that drove hundreds of thousands over hinder, out of their homes and killed untold number. the united nations have in fact that some of the top commanders who are responsible for that operation should be charged with genocide. so these companies in good conscience cannot say they had no idea that the country that they're trying to sell the equipment and tools to have a clean record when it comes to human rights. the evidence that this kind of technology is used to persecute people in me. a mom was revealed in 2018 after 2 writers journalists were arrested while investigating a massacre of bringing

a man. software by israel based firm celebrates great data from their phones, which was used to sentence them to 7 years in prison. when this became public celebrate claim to the top trading in the among the documents show, the government quickly found alternative everywhere in the world. people carry around and interact with all sorts of mobile digital devices, all the time. swedish from m, i say b has admitted it, sold detrick's, traction software to the civilian government in myanmar in 2019 for the bureau of special investigation under the military. but the files show em, i say b products were destined for a police intelligence agency under the military controlled ministry of home affairs . oxygen forensics introduces the new oxygen forensics detective. another day to extraction company us from oxygen forensics, confirmed to 11 east. it sold one license in me ama but wouldn't say to his extract

data from lock devices and protected backups. documents show that in 2020, some of its products were delivered to a supplier and young gong with known military connections. i think this just shows that some western companies are willing to step in to any gaps left by another company leaving, knowing full well that some of this technology has already been used for the areas and sinister purposes. if you were pulled over into checkpoints, they could take your phone for 15 minutes and plug it into their system and grab everything that's on your phone. or during a meeting with the lighthouse team, we here has some of the technology from these companies can be used to access or phone as cloud services and spy on uses even after the device is handed back. so even if they don't extract anything that they think implicates you at the time

you're detained, they can possibly extract information that does later on. and may be told 11 east. it continuously reviews the countries that itself products to and takes all reasonable steps to prevent the misuse of its technology. it says it has stopped all sales to me, emma. but m. s a b 's website says the products in the budget documents can still be used with an expired license. oxygen forensics told us in a statement, it has strict policies and only sells products to law enforcement agencies, vetted professional forensic investigations, and corporations providing forensic services. it says it has not sold to me a more for over a year. but then fears me, i'm a little inforcement agencies could use this technology to target civilians based on the documents that we've seen and the interviews that we've done. all of that

points to the military's ambition, to build a surveillance stage and me and mom. oh, they definitely have the desire. and now they also have the technologies. my concern is that it is only a matter of time before they really start using them. perhaps much more widespread than we are. mas military did not respond to requests for comment on the allegations raised in this program. mamma, i meet up again with wayne in when her father, a who was arrested on the day of the coo, has now been charged with hate speech. evidence included in the court documents seems to have been extracted from his phone, the documents detail, an email exchange from 2014, which discussed piece talks with me. i'm of ethnic armed groups that wayne and says

her father deleted these emails. he was very careful, he knew leading up the crew that he could be arrested. so he was deleting everything. is it possible that your father just didn't delete that email because he didn't think it was inflammatory? i can tell you for sure. he deleted this email and we understand that he didn't give his password to anyone. i think they are showing people that they can trace back to your house and they can find anything even from a private, secure, move on phone or laptop. so that way of telling everyone that they have this advanced technology, me as the crackdown continues, citizens are giving us a window into the unfolding horror via their mobile phones. but these devices can also be weaponized again with the risk of surveillance, imprisonment and torture. all to real me,

emma has become a state of fear me challenging how mainstream media publish the news story is like these should be easy pickings for political reporters out the whole power to account whilst others are breaking among the listening post on era teach, you know, you can watch out for english dreaming live and i do channels plus thousands of our
