Dear John

The European Union have just announced that on Monday 22^nd February, EU Foreign Ministers will formally decide their response to the military coup in Burma.

They are talking about sanctioning military leaders, but all this means is freezing assets in the EU, and a visa ban.

No-one believes the military leaders have any assets in the EU to freeze. And a visa ban means they can’t take holidays in EU member states.

If all the EU does is ban military leaders taking holidays in the EU, it’s a betrayal of the millions of people risking their lives protesting on the streets in Burma since the coup.

It is essential that the EU sanctions military companies. They must stop European companies doing business with the vast business empire of the military, and helping the military make profits which they use to oppress the people of Burma.

Will you email EU Foreign Ministries telling them a holiday ban is not enough, and asking them to impose targeted sanctions on military companies? ([link removed])

People in Burma are boycotting military companies and they want the international community to join them.

Please email EU members now. ([link removed])
