Burma is a country ruled by one of the longest running and most
brutal military dictatorships in the world; a dictatorship charged
by the United Nations with a “crime against humanity”
for its systematic abuses of human rights, and condemned internationally
for refusing to transfer power to the legally elected Government
of the country – the party led by Nobel Peace Laureate Aung
San Suu Kyi.
In response to calls from Burma’s democracy movement, the Burma
Campaign UK and other campaign groups around the world have been
pressuring companies to sever business ties with Burma.
