Rohingya Issue UN Survey Team Sanctions on Myanmar Military Companies August 7th 4:46
A UN Human Rights Council study team investigating the issue of persecution of Myanmar Minority Rohingyas found that the interests of the companies involved in the Myanmar army have funded military activities that violate human rights. I have published a report calling for sanctions. Myanmar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement rebelling against this report.
A report released by the United Nations Human Rights Council points out the names of companies owned by Myanmar military executives and points out that they are developing a wide range of economic activities such as construction, travel, insurance and banking.
