Statement by the Directors of the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business

The Directors of the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business (MCRB) are shocked at the sentences handed down to our Director Vicky Bowman and her husband Htein Lin by a court in Yangon today.

Vicky has dedicated many years of her life to strengthening social and economic development in Myanmar. As head of MCRB since 2013, she has worked tirelessly to promote responsible business conduct by foreign and domestic companies in Myanmar.

Vicky is a mother, wife and sister, and we hope it will be possible for her to be reunited with her family in the UK soon. We are continuing to support the family in these difficult times.

We will not be commenting further at this time.
