Stop Canadian Corporate Complicity with Burma's Military Regime
Write letters to the companies below condemning their business with Burma's
military regime. Send a copy to CFOB & your Member of Parliament!
The companies below are directly violating the appeals of Aung San Suu Kyi and her democratically elected
National League for Democracy -- which won 82% of the vote in the 1990 elections --
by doing business with Burma's military dictatorship, the SPDC.
Under SPDC rule, Burma exports more heroin and opium than all other sources
combined.
Gross violations of human rights continue including summary execution and arbitrary imprisonment, torture
and rape. SPDC's use of forced labour, which is extensively documented in the 1998 Report by the
International Labour organization (ILO), is so pervasive that it comprises 3% of Burma's Gross Domestic Product.
In November 2000, the ILO implemented an unprecedented resolution tantamount to a call for sanctions. The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) stated that it is impossible to do business in Burma without supporting the military's widespread use of forced labour.
