With a new government, we now have a new opportunity to revive the British government response to the crisis in Burma.
The scale of the crisis in Burma is enormous. The scale of the British government response has reduced to small measures at a snail’s pace.
The British government must:
- Sanction Burmese and international companies involved in supplying jet fuel to the military.
- Stop the flow of money to the military that they receive from state-owned banks.
- Triple UK aid to Burma.
- Work with local civil society to get aid to people in areas outside of Burmese military control.
- Expel the Burmese military attaché from the UK. The Burmese military are not welcome in the UK.
Please email British Foreign Secretary David Lammy now.
