      the international media exaggerated the crisis and also insisting that
      the civil disobedience movement is coming to an end. Additionally, he
      barred executives of foreign telecommunications firms from leaving the

      the Ministry in Feb 2021. Therefore, his actions, policies and
      activities undermine democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma, and

      <justification ssid="47670">Shwe Kyein has been a member of the State
      Administrative Council (SAC) since 30 Mar 2021. On 1 Feb 2021 the
      Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw), led by Commander-in-Chief Min Aung
      Hlaing, staged a coup in Myanmar/Burma by setting aside the results of
      the elections held on 8 Nov 2020 and overthrowing the democratically
      elected government. As part of the coup, Vice-President Myint Swe,
      functioning as Acting President, declared a state of emergency on 1 Feb
      and transferred the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the
      State to the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services, Senior General Min
      Aung Hlaing. On 2 Feb 2021 the SAC was established to exercise those
      powers, preventing the democratically elected government from fulfilling
      its mandate. As a member of the SAC, U Shwe Kyein 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/Burma. Additionally, the SAC adopted decisions
      restricting the rights to freedom of expression, including access to
      information, and peaceful assembly. The military forces and authorities
      operating under the control of the SAC have continuously committed
      serious human rights violations since 1 Feb 2021, by killing civilian
      and unarmed protestors, displacing hundreds of thousands of people,
      burning, torturing and killing civilians and denying equal access to
      humanitarian aid. The military forces and authorities operating under
      the control of the SAC have restricted freedom of assembly and of
      expression by blocking internet access, and through arbitrary arrests,
      detentions and convictions of opposition leaders and opponents of the
      coup. Furthermore, the SAC has imposed martial law in parts of the
      country allowing the military to exercise full authority over the
      specified area, including administrative, judicial and law-enforcement
      functions. In the areas under martial law, civilians, including
      journalists and peaceful protesters, are prosecuted by military courts,
      deprived of the right to due process, including the right of appeal.
      Violent actions by military and police forces threatening peace,
      security and stability have increased significantly in areas where
      martial law has been declared. As a member of the SAC, U Shwe Kyein is
      directly responsible for those repressive decisions and for serious
      human rights violations.</justification>

      excessive use of force against ethnic minority groups and indiscriminate
      violence leading to the violation of civilians’ rights and their forced
      displacement. Since Feb 2021, U Tayza Kyaw has overseen the BSO 1, which

      with U Than Hlaing, whose responsibility for perpetrating excessive
      violence and human rights violations has been established. The
      preparation and subsequent launch of the ‘clearance operations’ in the
      Sagaing and Magwe regions, within the purview of the BSO 1, displayed
      particularly excessive use of force as well as gender-based violence. He

      <justification ssid="47774">Lieutenant General Aung Zaw Aye is Commander
      of the Bureau of Special Operations No. 2 of the Myanmar Armed Forces
      (Tatmadaw). In a military attack on 24 Dec 2021 near Moso village in
      Phruso township, Karenni (Kayah) State, at least 35 persons were killed,
      among them civilians, children and two humanitarian aid workers of the
      NGO Save the Children. The Tatmadaw is held responsible for the attack.
      In his position as commander of the Bureau of Special Operations 2, Lt.
      Gen. Aung Zaw Aye is in command of the Eastern Command, which directly
      commands the military units active in the State of Kayah, including
      those responsible for that massacre. Lt. Gen. Aung Zaw Aye is therefore
      responsible for serious human rights violations and for engaging in
      actions that threaten the peace, security and stability of
      Myanmar/Burma.</justification>

      <justification ssid="47799">No. 1 Mining Enterprise (ME 1) is a
      State-owned enterprise (SOE) operating under the Ministry of Natural
      Resources and Environmental Conservation (MONREC) that also acts as the
      regulator for the sector of non-ferrous metal production and marketing.
      As such, the SOE is endowed with the responsibility to grant permits and
      collect part of the tax on profits made by private companies that are
      either in ‘production-sharing contracts’ or in joint venture with ME 1.
      On 1 Feb 2021 the Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw), led by
      Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing, seized power from the legitimate
      civilian Government in a coup d’état and established the State
      Administration Council (SAC) to exercise legislative, executive and
      judicial powers of the State. On 2 Feb 2021 the military regime
      appointed a new cabinet, including a new minister for Natural Resources
      and Environmental Conservation (MONREC). Through the SAC and the new
      cabinet, the military regime acquired control over and benefits from
      SOEs, including No. 1 Mining Enterprise. No. 1 Mining Enterprise is thus
      controlled by and generates revenue for the Tatmadaw, therefore
      contributing to its capabilities to carry out activities undermining
      democracy and the rule of law. Moreover, No. 1 Mining Enterprise has
      taken part and/or overseen various projects linked to violence by the
      Tatmadaw against civilian populations and violation of their most basic
      rights, including through land confiscation and forced relocation. No. 1
      Mining Enterprise is therefore responsible for supporting actions that
      threaten the peace, security and stability of
      Myanmar/Burma.</justification>
