KWO always called on the sanction targeted the Burma Army including their business. Unless they feel hurt they will never reform and change their mentality. They will continue to act with impunity. KWO welcome and support the UN Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar exposes military business ties, calls for targeted sanctions and arms embargoes and call on the international community to impose sanctions.

Last month the US government has imposed sanctions on Myanmar’s top military commander Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing and the three of his highest-ranking general and their immediate family members on a ban from entering the US. KWO welcome the US government actions and call on more ban to generals and not just visiting ban but also economic sanctions on their business.

We also call on other government to take actions and follow the UN Fact-finding recommendations.
