Human rights organisation Amnesty International released a report this week highlighting the deep links between the Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited (UMEHL) and the Myanmar military or Tatmadaw. Reported by many international news offices, including AP, the document urges the government and companies that partner with UMEHL to cut ties that may be helping to finance human right abuses – including atrocities against Myanmar’s Muslim group that self-identify as Rohingya.

UMEHL’s foreign business partners include South Korean companies steel maker Posco International, trading company Pan-Pacific and the Inno Group; RMH Singapore Pte, formerly owned by British American Tobacco; China’s Wanbao Mining, which jointly operates copper mines in Myanmar, and beverage manufacturer Kirin of Japan.
