YANGON, 23 April 2021: Justice For Myanmar alleges one of the region’s top hotel companies, Shangri-La Group, has an ongoing business link with Myanmar’s military junta that overthrew the elected government in the 1 February coup.
The covert activists campaigning for justice and
accountability for the people of Myanmar alleged in a 16 April statement that
the hospitality group, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, leases land from
the army’s quartermaster general’s office for its five-star Sule Square complex.
TTR Weekly sought clarification from the Shangri-La communications office in Hong Kong on the group’s links to Sule Square. The group acknowledged receipt but at press time had not responded to JFM’s allegations.
