Activist organisation Burma Campaign UK called the visa ban "exceptionally cruel and shortsighted".

Burma Campaign UK called on the British government to change its approach with a stronger focus on human rights, and a focus on how the Burmese military is violating numerous UN Security Council Resolutions.

Very disappointing that yet again the British government has failed to invite any UN human rights experts to brief the UNSC meeting on Myanmar tomorrow.
And yet again the focus is not on how the Burmese military are violating numerous UNSC resolutions.
And it's held in private.
It is wrong to stop people fleeing war and persecution from having the ability to come to the UK legally and claim asylum. The Home Office's proposals punish vulnerable populations and are using these communities as scapegoats.
I have written to the Home Secretary to outline my deep concerns.
Banned from the UK: Myanmar students.
Not banned from the UK: Captain Soe Aung, Myanmar military attaché (living in luxury house in Wimbledon).

The mass release of political prisoners was expected as part of propaganda efforts by the Burmese military as they rebrand themselves following sham elections at the end of 2025 and early 2026. The releases are not a sign of change or reform.
