WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States on Monday imposed sanctions on seven individuals and two entities connected to Myanmar, the U.S. Treasury said on its website.
The sanctions come a year after Myanmar’s military took power in a coup after complaining of fraud in a November 2020 general election won by democracy champion Aung San Suu Kyi’s party. Election monitoring groups found no evidence of mass fraud.
