Myanmar uses 'ghost ships' to import aviation fuel for deadly air attacks, Amnesty says

> Military-ruled Myanmar appears to have adopted the tactics of sanction-busting nations such as #Russia, #Iran and #NorthKorea by using evasive sailing routes and dodgy ships to disguise the sources of aviation fuel it uses for air #attacks in the country’s civil war, the human rights group #AmnestyInternational said Monday.

> The London-based group’s investigation said its analysis of trade, shipping, satellite and port authority data indicates that the Myanmar military is importing the jet fuel on “ghost ships” that turn off their Automatic Identification System — AIS — location-tracking radios to avoid detection.
