YANGON, 27 May 2021: Tenants of a high-end office block in Yangon that the United Nations said was built on military-owned land have moved out or are reviewing their leases.
Prominent first on the move out include McKinsey, Coca-Cola
and Reuters, according to the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre.
The activist group Justice for Myanmar last month called on
commercial tenants of the Sule Square complex of offices and shops in the heart
of Myanmar’s commercial hub of Yangon to stop indirectly supporting the army.

lease office space in the building, indirectly supporting the army,”
