President Biden: impose further tough and targeted sanctions on Myanmar military

U.S. President Joe Biden

Urge President Biden to impose further tough and targeted sanctions on the Myanmar military.

On February 1, 2021, the Myanmar military seized power in a coup d'etat, imprisoning Aung San Suu Kyi, senior figures from her ruling party, and prominent pro-democracy and human rights advocates.

In response to this coup, young people in Myanmar have taken to the streets in a new #CivilDisobedienceMovement (CDM) demanding an end to military rule. They are calling on the international community to impose tough and targeted sanctions on the military, including its business conglomerates Myanmar Economic Holding Limited (MEHL) and Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC).

The military is now brutally cracking down, injuring and killing peaceful pro-democracy protesters. President Biden has already imposed sanctions on some top military leaders. But It is vital that President Biden honor CDM's call for tougher targeted sanctions on both military officers and the companies that they own and control.

Sign our petition urging President Biden to impose tougher and targeted additional sanctions on the Myanmar military and its business empire.
