Dear John

It is now five months since the European Union brought in any new sanctions against the Burmese military. In that time:
* Another 417 people have been killed by the military, bringing the total to 1,290.
* Another 4,173 people have been arrested by the military, bringing the total to 10,40. 7,500 political prisoners are in jail today, many facing torture.
* The number of people who have fled their homes since the coup because of threats and attacks by the military has grown to a quarter of a million people.

There is much more that the European Union can do to cut the flow of money to the Burmese military, but while hundreds die and thousands are arrested, the European Union is dithering.

TELL EU MEMBER STATES TO BRING IN NEW SANCTIONS AGAINST THE MILITARY ([link removed])

The European Union has sanctioned some military companies and state-owned companies involved in timber and gems, but there is much more that they can do.
* They can sanction gas revenue to help cut one of the sources of international money flowing to the military.
* They can sanction the Office of the Quartermaster General and other military bodies responsible for the purchase and manufacturing of arms.
* They can sanction banks in Burma used by the military to earn and transfer revenue.

The military has not stopped the killings and arrests and the European Union must not stop doing everything it can to stop money reaching the military.

They need to keep identifying and sanctioning sources of revenue for the military, relentlessly tightening sanctions month after month.

Email EU member states now telling them to bring in new sanctions to stop money reaching the military. ([link removed])
