UK Adds to Myanmar, ISIL Sanctions Regimes

The U.K.'s Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation added two individuals and two entities to its Myanmar sanctions regime, it said in a Jan. 31 notice. OFSI subjected Win Kyaw Kyaw Aung, former director and shareholder of Asia Sun Trading, and Zaw Min Tun, member of Asia Sun Trading, to a travel ban and asset freeze. The agency also imposed sanctions on Asia Sun Trading and Cargo Link.

In a separate notice, OFSI added one entity to its consolidated list under the ISIL (Da'esh) and al-Qaida sanctions regime. The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in South-East Asia is now subject to the list's restrictions.
