Muligheden for at bruge digitalt materiale som videoer delt på sociale medier og satellitbilleder, sammen med en række nye teknologier til analyse - er blevet essentielt for deres arbejde med at støtte aktivister ved at råbe verdenssamfundet op og levere dokumentation.
Facebook er meget populær i Myanmar og faktisk én af de primære kommunikationsplatforme. Facebook er dog nu - sammen med Instagram og Whatsapp - blevet blokeret af myndighederne, men tidligere har aktivisterne kunne streame og dele overgrebene her.
Men at potentielle beviser på den måde ligger på kommercielt drevne sociale medier som Facebook, Twitter og Youtube skaber samtidig bekymring. For hvad bliver liggende og hvad forsvinder? Og er sociale medier overhovedet et fristed og et talerør for de undertrykte, som vi talte om under det arabiske forår?
Jeg skal tale med Sam Dubberley som er leder af Amnestys Crisis Evidence Lab, som er baseret i Berlin, om deres arbejde som digitale detektiver i kampen for menneskerettigheder.
Og så skal jeg tale med Andrea Horcasitas fra Mexico City, som er studerende og frivillig hos Amnesty, hvilket vil sige at hun bruger sin fritid på at gennemse ofte voldsomt digitalt materiale og verificere overgreb.
Og til sidst skal jeg tale med Rikke Frank Jørgensen, seniorforsker hos Institut for Menneskerettigheder om hvordan de sociale medier både er medspillere og modspillere for aktivister og menneskerettighedsorganisationer.
