Burma Campaign UK has added 28 more companies to the ‘Dirty List’ of companies linked to the military, human rights violations, or environmental destruction in Myanmar, reports Mizzima. The additions mean there are now 116 companies on the list.
“Even genocide and a military coup has not been enough to persuade these companies to cut their links to the Burmese military,” said Mark Farmaner, Director of Burma Campaign UK. “The Burmese military has committed genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, doing any form of business with them is completely unacceptable. The Dirty List exposes the role companies all over the world are playing in helping to finance the military and supply it with arms.”
