The sole owner and director of UK-sanctioned, Singapore-registered Shoon Energy Pte Ltd (formerly Asia Sun Aviation), is the director of at least 10 companies in Myanmar, reports the Irrawaddy.
Burma Campaign UK has welcomed new UK sanctions targeting companies supplying aviation fuel, arms and aircraft parts to the Myanmar military.
“These sanctions are well targeted, prioritizing suppliers of aviation fuel and arms brokers, but a complete ban on British companies supplying aviation fuel to Burma is the only way to ensure no British companies are complicit in airstrikes against civilians,” said Anna Roberts, Executive Director of Burma Campaign UK.
