Insuring Repression
Campaign Report
July 2008
 

This report reveals for the first time how insurers around the world have underwritten the Burmese regime by insuring the multinational companies that are its financial lifeline.

Foreign businesses operating in Burma give the regime millions of dollars everyday. Without this money Burma’s brutal regime wouldn’t be able to finance the military machine that keeps it in power. This report exposes how foreign insurance companies from London to Singapore have been working closely with the regime’s insurance company – to ensure that foreign businesses can operate in Burma.

        Whistleblowers!

    Our report, Insuring Repression, has exposed some of the insurance companies that are helping to fund Burma's brutal dictatorship. These companies are helping to entrench the rule of a regime that rules through fear, shooting peaceful protestors and using rape as a weapon of war against its own citizens.

    Insurance companies help the regime to make billions of dollars a year, these billions don't help the people of Burma, they help the regime to fund their campaigns of repression and ethnic cleansing.

    We suspect there are many other insurers still providing insurance services to companies in Burma - but we need proof.

    Our report would not have been people without help and tip offs from people working inside the industry.

    If you know of an insurer, reinsurer or insurance broker that is providing any sort of insurance services to companies in Burma please get in touch in confidence and let us know.
