“It is incredible that is has taken three weeks of an ethnic cleansing campaign, thousands dead and nearly half a million displaced, before the British government decided to cancel this training,” said Mark Farmaner, Director of Burma Campaign UK. “Ending this training should have been a no-brainer, not something to dither over for three weeks while ethnic cleansing happens in front of our eyes. The original decision to provide this training is an example of catastrophic misjudgement by the British government about the situation in Burma. A major rethink on policy is now needed and a return to putting human rights first.”
Burma Campaign UK will now also campaign for Germany and Austria to end the training programmes they have offered to the military in Burma.
