Investment and Trade in Burma

You are here: Home / Campaigns / Investment and Trade in Burma

The military receives billions of dollars a year in revenue from international trade, including from gas and gems. That’s money they are spending on weapons and fighter jets used against the people of Burma.

Since the military coup, our campaigns have persuaded the British government and EU to introduce a series of sanctions targeting the military’s funding. We have persuaded companies to stop doing business with the military.

We are systematically cutting sources of money and arms, but more needs to be done.

Mytel is one of the main mobile networks in Burma. It is a joint venture between the Burmese military and the Vietnamese military.

Tell the British government to sanction Mytel
