Since the Myanmar military’s illegal coup attempt, Myanmar crony Ko Ko Latt has expanded his business, providing financial and political support to a brutal junta. He has done this while running a network of businesses in the USA, UK, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore and the UAE, while transacting with entities sanctioned in some of the very countries he operates in.

As trade in Myanmar teak continues, profiting the terrorist military junta, a ban on all Myanmar timber imports is necessary.

After eleven weeks in the post, the Myanmar crony Ko Ko Latt voluntarily tendered his resignation as Iceland’s Honorary Consul to Myanmar and the position was formally withdrawn effective May 15, the Icelandic foreign ministry has confirmed to Justice For Myanmar.

Companies in the United States have imported nearly 1,600 tonnes of teak from Myanmar since the military’s attempted coup in February 2021. Justice For Myanmar calls for a ban on Myanmar timber.
