Mizzima

On 14 May, Burma Campaign UK issued a press release calling on international investors, United Nations agencies and international humanitarian organisations operating in Myanmar to make efforts to guarantee that companies owned by the Myanmar military do not benefit from earthquake reconstruction efforts. 

The text of the press release is as follows.

It is vital that donations provided to assist earthquake victims in one part of Burma do not help finance Burmese military bombs being dropped in another part of Burma.
