Justice For Myanmar says Kirin’s irresponsible exit from Myanmar will continue complicity in military’s atrocity crimes

"Kirin Holdings’ irresponsible exit will continue its complicity in Myanmar military’s atrocity crimes" 30 June 2022

Kirin Holdings has announced a share buyback with their joint ventures, Myanmar Brewery and the smaller Mandalay Brewery, which will see the company exit Myanmar and place their business partner, Myanma Economic Holdings Limited (MEHL), in control.

The deal will ensure the continued operations of the business, providing ongoing revenue for the Myanmar military through MEHL.

Kirin holds 51% of Myanmar Brewery, to MEHL’s 49%.

According to Kirin’s statement, the share transfer price is approximately 22.4 billion JPY (324 billion MMK or 163.9 million USD).

In November 2020, Kirin suspended dividend payments to MEHL. The company has not disclosed what will happen to the accrued dividends and the company’s bank balance when it exits Myanmar.

Justice For Myanmar spokesperson Yadanar Maung says: "Kirin’s decision to hand over control of Myanmar Brewery and Mandalay Brewery to military conglomerate Myanma Economic Holdings Limited is a windfall for the Myanmar military and will ensure a continued stream of revenue to finance atrocity crimes.

"Kirin appears to be excusing this irresponsible exit by claiming it is in the best interests of workers.

"The responsible move is to deny funds to the terrorist Myanmar military and remedy negative impacts to workers through compensation.

"Instead, Kirin has chosen to prioritise their bottom line over their human rights responsibilities and the lives of the people of Myanmar, who are subjected to daily arrest, murder, torture, the burning of homes and villages, indiscriminate airstrikes and shelling by the Myanmar military.

“Kirin’s irresponsible exit comes as Myanmar is in crisis, as the junta wages a campaign of terror against the Myanmar people, aided and abetted by Kirin’s business with MEHL.

"Kirin must reverse this deplorable decision or be held accountable for their complicity in the military’s international crimes.

“We demand Kirin disclose their human rights due diligence, and the fate of the dividends that they had been withholding from MEHL.

"Kirin’s share transfer involves their Singapore subsidiary, Kirin Holdings Singapore Pte. Singapore should prevent transactions through their financial system that benefit the Myanmar military, including Kirin’s US-sanctioned business partner, Myanma Economic Holdings Limited."
