The EU yesterday imposed asset freezes and visa bans on Myanmar’s energy minister, influential businessmen and high-ranking military officers, over an ongoing crackdown on opponents two years after a coup.

The new batch of European Union sanctions hit nine individuals and seven entities tied to the ruling regime.

The move by the 27-nation bloc followed similar sanctions from the US and Britain around the second anniversary of the military coup that launched a violent campaign against democracy activists.
