Burma Army Sent To Myitsone Dam Site To Enforce Evictions

While toxic mining practices have been used at the Myitsone area for a number of years, video recently obtained by KDNG shows that since the dam project's suspension in September a large portion of the once productive farm land adjacent to the confluence of the Mali Hka and N’Mai Hka rivers has been turned into a toxic waste land, scarred by large mining pits containing cyanide and mercury pools.
The environmental impact on the Irrawaddy River is expected to be severe, KDNG has also received video showing a toxic soup cyanide and mercury-laced fluid flowing into the river from the mine site.
