New video testimony has emerged of survivors of the Burmese junta’s crackdown on a popular uprising. Researchers with Amnesty International interviewed dozens of witnesses and victims along the Thai-Burma border. This is one unidentified monk’s account.

Unidentified monk: “Some of the injured were so bloody that you couldn’t tell where blood was coming from. Some of the monks lost the top part of their robes. I saw civilians trying to help an injured monk. Most of their injuries were head injuries. The riot police were aiming for the head.”

Researchers also spoke to pro-democracy activist Hlaing Moe Than.

Hlaing Moe Than: “There are about 1,450 prisoners, and about 500 of them have head injuries. They need immediate medical attention. There wasn’t sufficient medical attention. There was no drinking water, and there was no toilet. None at all. Some of the monks were forcibly disrobed. They were given civilian clothes, but the monks didn’t want to wear civilian clothes so they remained topless. I was told that the situation was really bad.”
