The United States on Monday imposed sanctions on seven individuals and two entities linked to the Burmese military regime in coordination with Britain and Canada, the U.S. Treasury Department said, ahead of the one-year anniversary of the February military coup in Burma.
Among those sanctioned are Union Attorney General Thida Oo, Supreme Court Chief Justice Tun Tun Oo, and Anti-Corruption Commission Chairman Tin Oo, for their roles in the military regime’s “politically motivated” prosecution of deposed Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, the U.S. Treasury said in a statement.
