Official reasons
- The Tatmadaw has a track record of committing serious human rights violations and violations of international humanitarian law in Myanmar for decades. As Managing Director of Myanmar Chemical and Machinery Co Ltd , Aung Hlaing Oo has used his commercial and personal position to provide support for these activities in his role as an importer and broker of arms. Through his control of MCM, he has acted as a key source of weapons and commercial support for the junta, including through his close political/commercial ties with Eastern Europe. Aung Hlaing Oo, has therefore, been involved in the supply of restricted goods and/or technology, which could have contributed to serious human rights violations. Aung Hlaing Oo, is also associated with the Commander in Chief, Min Aung Hlaing.
