Descriptions

Secretary of the State Administration Council; Myanmar military Reserves List; Member of the State Administration Council

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Lieutenant General Dwe Aung Lin is member of the Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw) and he is the Secretary of the State Administration Council (SAC). On 1 Feb 2021, the Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw), led by Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing, staged a coup in Myanmar by setting aside the results of the elections held on 8 Nov 2020 and by overthrowing the democratically elected government. As part of the coup, Vice-President Myint Swe, functioning as Acting President, declared a state of emergency on 1 Feb and transferred the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the state to the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing. On 2 Feb, the SAC was established to exercise those powers, preventing the democratically elected government from fulfilling its mandate. Lieutenant General Dwe Aung Lin was appointed Secretary of the SAC on 2 Feb 2021 and he has issued orders of the SAC. Amongst others, he ordered the removal of individuals from offices they had been appointed to by the legally elected government as well as in re-staffing the Myanmar election commission. As member and Secretary of the SAC, Lieutenant General Dwe Aung Lin has been directly involved in and responsible for decision making concerning state functions and is therefore responsible for undermining democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma. Additionally, the SAC adopted decisions restricting the rights to freedom of expression, including access to information, and peaceful assembly. The military forces and authorities operating under the control of the SAC have committed serious human rights violations since 1 Feb 2021, killing civilian and unarmed protestors, restricting freedom of assembly and of expression, including by restricting internet access, and through arbitrary arrests and detention of opposition leaders and opponents of the coup. As member and Secretary of the SAC, Lieutenant General Dwe Aung Lin is directly responsible for those repressive decisions and for serious human rights violations.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Le général de corps d’armée Dwe Aung Lin est membre des forces armées du Myanmar/de la Birmanie (Tatmadaw) et le secrétaire du Conseil d’administration de l’État (SAC). Le 1er février 2021, les forces armées du Myanmar/de la Birmanie (Tatmadaw), dirigées par Min Aung Hlaing, leur commandant en chef, ont perpétré un coup d’État au Myanmar/en Birmanie en rejetant les résultats des élections qui se sont tenues le 8 novembre 2020 et en renversant le gouvernement démocratiquement élu. Dans le cadre de ce coup d’État, le vice-président Myint Swe, agissant en qualité de président par intérim, a proclamé l’état d’urgence le 1er février et transféré les pouvoirs législatif, exécutif et judiciaire de l’État au commandant en chef des services de défense, le généralissime Min Aung Hlaing. Le 2 février, le SAC a été institué pour exercer ces pouvoirs, empêchant le gouvernement démocratiquement élu d’accomplir son mandat. Le général de corps d’armée Dwe Aung Lin a été nommé secrétaire du SAC le 2 février 2021 et a diffusé les ordres du SAC. Entre autres, il a ordonné la révocation d’individus de postes auxquels ils avaient été nommés par le gouvernement légalement élu ainsi que le changement des effectifs de la commission électorale du Myanmar/de la Birmanie. En sa qualité de membre et de secrétaire du SAC, le général de corps d’armée Dwe Aung Lin a directement participé à la prise de décisions relatives aux fonctions de l’État et en porte la responsabilité et est donc responsable d’avoir porté atteinte à la démocratie et à l’état de droit au Myanmar/en Birmanie. En outre, le SAC a adopté des décisions limitant le droit à la liberté d’expression, y compris à l’accès à l’information, et le droit de se réunir pacifiquement. Les forces militaires et les autorités opérant sous le contrôle du SAC commettent de graves violations des droits de l’homme depuis le 1er février 2021, en tuant des civils et des manifestants non armés, en limitant la liberté de réunion et d’expression, y compris par des restrictions à l’accès à l’internet, des arrestations arbitraires et la détention de dirigeants de l’opposition et d’opposants au coup d’État. En sa qualité de membre et de secrétaire du SAC, le général de corps d’armée Dwe Aung Lin est directement responsable de ces décisions répressives et de graves violations des droits de l’homme.
