Burma Campaign UK has welcomed new British government advice on business risk in Burma which warns British companies not to be involved in the supply of aviation fuel to the Burmese military, reports Mizzima.
“It is very good to see the British government warning British companies not to be involved in the supply of aviation fuel to the Burmese military,” said Mark Farmaner, Director of Burma Campaign UK. “This is a recognition of the role of the supply of aviation fuel in the commission of human rights violations by the military. We hope that it will be followed by legal sanctions as soon as possible.”
