“Today's package of measures sends a clear signal to the military regime in Myanmar that those responsible for human rights violations will be held accountable and the authorities must hand over control to a government elected by the people of Myanmar,” Raab said on the government website.
It is noted that, in addition to the list of 19, visa and financial sanctions have been imposed on six military personnel.
Also, the Department of International Trade will suppress the trade of British companies with companies that are owned by the military in Myanmar.
On February 23, it became known that in connection with the events in Myanmar, the United States added to the sanctions lists two people associated with the military leadership in the country.
