The Canadian-linked Belpearl network is using a Thai intermediary company to supply pearl nuclei from Hong Kong and Japan to its Myanmar pearl farm, sustaining a business that helps finance the junta’s ongoing campaign of terror against the people.

Justice For Myanmar welcomes the latest round of targeted sanctions imposed on the Myanmar military junta on Human Rights Day by Canada, the UK and the USA.
