Myanmar Military Seizes George Soros Organization's Bank Accounts, Announces Arrest Warrants After Coup

The military government in Myanmar, in place after a coup provoked by widespread accusations of voter fraud plagued the country's recent election, has now seized the bank accounts of George Soros' Open Society Foundations.

After taking control of the country in a military coup provoked by allegations of voter fraud earlier this year, the Myanmar military government has seized several bank accounts belonging or affiliated with George Soros' Open Society Foundations, and has announced arrest warrants for 11 members of the organization in the country "On suspicion of giving financial support to the civil disobedience movement against the military junta."

The government will also take legal action against the Open Society Foundations, which they allege violated "Restrictions on the activities of such organizations" and did not receive approval from Myanmar's authorities for the deposit of $5 million into their Myanmar bank accounts.

Clinton advised Aung San Suu Kyi to contest a parliamentary seat in the 2012 Burmese elections, which Aung San Suu Kyi ultimately did, kickstarting the latter's formal political career in Burma, also known as Myanmar.

Ultimately, the Obama administration engineered Aung San Suu Kyi's rise to power in 2015, by placing sanctions on Myanmar and insisting on only removing them if Aung San Suu Kyi was given a political role in the country.

Another important ally of Aung San Suu Kyi was progressive billionaire George Soros and his global NGO network, which strongly supported her activities.

Myanmar also recently banned Facebook and Twitter in the country after they alleged the platforms used their algorithms to promote anti-military protests following the military takeover.
