		</div><p>The European Union is set to slap sanctions on 11 officials in Myanmar who are accused of involvement in the military coup and the violent crackdown on protesters that followed.</p>
<p>EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said before chairing a meeting of EU foreign ministers on Monday: “We are going to take sanctions against 11 persons involved in the coup and on the repression of the demonstrators.”</p>
<p>Myanmar’s military junta prevented Parliament from convening on February 1. It claimed that last November’s elections, won by Aung San Suu Kyi’s party in a landslide, were tainted by fraud.</p>
<p>The election commission that confirmed the victory has since been replaced by the junta.</p>
<p>The coup reversed years of slow progress towards democracy in Myanmar after five decades of military rule.</p>
<p>In the face of persistent strikes and protests against the takeover, the junta has responded with an increasingly violent crackdown and efforts to limit the information reaching the outside world.</p>
<p>Internet access has been severely restricted, private newspapers have been barred from publishing, and protesters, journalists and politicians have been arrested in large numbers.</p>
