Burma is ruled by one of the most brutal military dictatorships
in the world; a dictatorship charged by the United Nations
with a “crime against humanity” for its systematic
abuses of human rights, and condemned internationally
for refusing to transfer power to the legally elected
Government of the country – the party led by Nobel
Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
The Burma Campaign UK is part of a global movement campaigning
for human rights and democracy in Burma. Our campaigns
aim to increase economic pressure on the regime by discouraging
investment and tourism and we lobby the UK government
and the European Union to increase political pressure
on the regime.
The Burma Campaign UK is the only national organisation
in the UK dedicated to campaigning for human rights and
democracy in Burma.
