Dear John

Timber and gems exports from Burma are worth billions of dollars a year, and now that the military have seized government departments at gunpoint, that money will be going to the military.

Together we succeeded in persuading the European Union to impose sanctions on military owned companies. This is a big success, but it doesn’t mean the job is done.

We need to keep finding ways to cut revenue going to the military, as that revenue is paying for the bullets fired at protestors and the bombs being dropped on ethnic civilians.

Please email EU governments today calling on them to sanction state owned timber and gems companies, and to ban the import of timber and gems into the EU. ([link removed])

700 hundred people have been killed since the coup so far, and the death toll keeps rising.

The European Union should be doing everything it can to make sure European companies are not helping to finance the military. It must sanction the timber and gems industries now.

Please email EU members now.

Thank you.
