Closed petition Impose sanctions on Myanmar due to the military coup.
Closed on
The British goverment should impose strict sanctions against Myanmar until the democratic goverment that has been elected by the people is released from prison and put back into office.
Democracy should always be defended from any type of oppression.
For 12 years Myanmar has been free of a military dictatorship. It fought long and hard to achieve what it has. Life has improved for hundreds of thousands of Myanmar people.
Everything happening now stands against the values that we ourselves pride ourselves on as a country.
They have had their access to social media blocked to stop them reaching out for help imternationally and to suppress protesting against the coup which the people are against.
