Person:notes | Major General Zin Min Htet was the Deputy Minister for Home Affairs and Chief of the Myanmar Police Force. He was directly involved in and responsible for decision making concerning the Yangon region. Zin Min Htet replaced his predecessor Than Hlaing on 2 May 2022, as Chief of the Myanmar Police Force. Previously he was the military’s Joint Adjutant General (2019-2022). He also served as head of the Defence Services Computer and Technological University. Since 21 July 2023, he is Deputy Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs. As former Deputy Minister for Home Affairs and former Chief of the Myanmar Police Force, and as Deputy Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs since 2023, he forms part of the military regime which has seized power in a military coup and overthrown the legitimately elected leaders of Myanmar/Burma and is therefore a natural person whose actions, policies or activities undermine democracy or the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma, or who engages in, or provides support for, actions that threaten the peace, security or stability of Myanmar/Burma. Additionally, police forces acting under his authority have committed serious human rights violations, restricting freedom of assembly and of expression, arbitrary arrests and detention of opposition leaders and opponents of the coup. Zin Min Htet is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-60157 | ||||
