New sanctions were imposed on Myanmar to affect the businesses that provide financial support to the military junta.
According to UK government, new sanctions are aimed at Myanmar businessman U TayZa and his Htoo Group. Htoo business group is a large business network which controls several activities in Myanmar. It has been accused of funding the clearance of Rohingya in Rakhine in 2017.
U TayZa is having a close tie with the military because of his connections with the junta leaders. He has always provided support to supply the militias with arms & weapons.
