Satellite images show ongoing destruction of Rohingya settlements


… Once home to a small community of Rohingya, its 50 buildings were almost entirely burned down during violent crackdowns that forced more than 745,000 refugees into Bangladesh in 2017.    

New satellite analysis released on Wednesday by an Australian think-tank, the International Cyber Policy Centre at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), shows "minimal preparation" for the return of Rohingya refugees amid the continuing destruction of residential areas and an increase in military facilities in northern Rakhine.
…. According to ASPI, the developments captured by satellite imagery cast doubt on the credibility of claims that refugees will be allowed to return to their homes and raise concerns about the conditions under which those who return would be expected to live....
….. But ASPI's cyber centre says it appears more akin to a detention centre featuring housing areas surrounded by fences and watchtowers….
… John Quinley III, Human Rights Specialist at Fortify Rights told Al Jazeera that the "so-called reception centres look more like prisons" and could further the apartheid system in place in other parts of the state.
