The EU has placed Myanmar junta chief Min Aung Hlaing on an assets freeze and visa ban blacklist over a coup and crackdown on demonstrators, the bloc’s official journal says.
“Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing has been directly involved in and responsible for decision making concerning state functions and is therefore responsible for undermining democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar,” the listing says.
