Burma Campaign UK told the Democratic Voice of Burma that the British government hasn’t revealed any sanctions against the Arakan Army (AA) over its alleged mass killings and human rights violations against the Rohingya, as well as other ethnic minorities, in its territory. The rumours about possible sanctions against the AA emerged three months after Burma Campaign UK called on London to take action.
“There’s no indication that the U.K. government is considering sanctions against the AA,” Anna Roberts, the executive director of Burma Campaign UK, told DVB in an interview. While the UK government could freeze AA assets and ban its members from traveling to the UK, such measures would be “largely symbolic” like those which have been imposed against the regime following the 2021 coup.
