The U.K. last week sanctioned Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), a military-linked conglomerate, over its involvement in human rights abuses following the coup.
MEC, which has dozens of subsidiaries involved in manufacturing, mining and telecommunications, was also sanctioned last month by the U.S., and is listed by Canada. Though the firm is owned in practice by the Myanmar defense ministry, it is associated with the Tatmadaw, the armed forces, according to a sanctions notice issued by the U.K. government.
