In September 2023, Lieutenant General Nyo Saw has been appointed as a member of the State Administration Council after having been appointed senior advisor to the State Administration Council (SAC) Chairman, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing (who has been designated since 22.3.2021) at the rank of a Union Minister. He is also head of a committee tasked with importing fuel from Russia, the regime’s major arms supplier. Nyo Saw retired from the army in 2020 as quartermaster general. He also serves as a member of the Foreign Exchange Supervision Committee (FESC) and as the chairman of the military-owned conglomerate Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), both of which generate revenue for the regime. He is also a member of the patron group of Myanmar Economic Holdings Ltd (MEHL). As a member of the SAC and advisor to the SAC Chairman, Nyo Saw plays a key role in maintaining and orchestrating the military dictatorship in Myanmar that seized power through a military coup in 2021, overthrowing the democratically elected government. Through his roles in the steering of military owned enterprises and in managing fuel imports from Russia, including for military use, he also provides economic supports and income to the military regime. Nyo Saw is associated with former and current junta regime members.

En septembre 2023, le général de corps d'armée Nyo Saw a été nommé membre du Conseil d'administration de l'État (SAC) après avoir été nommé conseiller principal auprès du président du SAC, le généralissime Min Aung Hlaing (inscrit sur la liste depuis le 22.3.2021), en qualité de ministre de l'Union. Il dirige également une commission chargée de l'importation de combustibles en provenance de Russie, le principal fournisseur d'armes du régime. Nyo Saw a pris sa retraite de l'armée en 2020 en tant qu'intendant général. Il est également membre du Comité de surveillance des changes (FESC) et président de la Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), un conglomérat appartenant à l'armée, ces deux entités générant des recettes en faveur du régime. Il est également membre du groupe dirigeant de la Myanmar Economic Holdings Ltd (MEHL). En tant que membre du SAC et conseiller auprès du président du SAC, Nyo Saw joue un rôle essentiel dans le maintien et l'orchestration de la dictature militaire au Myanmar/en Birmanie, qui a pris le pouvoir par un coup d'État militaire en 2021, en renversant le gouvernement démocratiquement élu. En raison du rôle qu'il joue dans la direction d'entreprises appartenant à l'armée et dans la gestion des importations de combustibles en provenance de Russie, y compris pour un usage militaire, il fournit également un soutien économique et des revenus au régime militaire. Nyo Saw est associé à des membres anciens et actuels du régime de la junte. Par conséquent, Nyo Saw est une personne physique dont les politiques et activités portent atteinte à la démocratie et à l'État de droit au Myanmar/en Birmanie, et qui mène des actions qui menacent la paix, la sécurité et la stabilité au Myanmar/en Birmanie. En outre, Nyo Saw est associé à des personnes désignées au titre de la décision 2013/184/PESC du Conseil et du règlement (UE) no 401/2013 du Conseil, notamment le général Min Aung Hlaing.
