Puma Energy, a midstream and downstream unit of Swiss trading company Trafigura, will fully exit Myanmar, it said on October 5 in a statement.

Amnesty International responds to Puma Energy’s decision to withdraw from Myanmar nearly two years after a military coup in early 2021.

Justice For Myanmar published a press release last June stating that Mytel was “a key pillar in the Myanmar military’s business network providing revenue, technology and surveillance capabilities.” It urged “international governments to hear the voices of Myanmar and designate [Mytel] for sanctions.”

As Rohingya, we have experienced first-hand what happens when the international community does not put pressure on the Myanmar military — it is emboldened to commit more crimes. That is why we had welcomed previous rounds of sanctions by the European Union (EU). We now need to see stronger and more regular action.

It is now seven months since the European Union brought in any new sanctions on the Burmese military. As the military continues its attacks on civilians across Burma, it is imperative that the EU looks anew on how to stem the flow of arms and money to the military.

The European Union is preparing to impose a new tranche of sanctions against Myanmar’s democracy-suspending, coup-installed military regime, but behind the new measures, a debate rages about whether Brussels should revoke the benighted nation’s EU trade privileges.

The European Union has not imposed sanctions on 30 companies arming Myanmar’s junta, according to rights group Justice for Myanmar (JFM).

Die Europäis­che Union hat keine Sank­tio­nen gegen 30 Unternehmen ver­hängt (Namen der Fir­men siehe unten), die Myan­mars Jun­ta bewaffnen, berichtet die Men­schen­rechts­gruppe Jus­tice for Myan­mar (JFM). JFM hat 31 Unternehmen iden­ti­fiziert, darunter auch Fir­men mit Verbindun­gen nach Europa, die seit dem Putsch von 2021 Waf­fen für das Régime beschafft haben.
