INDONESIA: DEFEND ID, an Indonesian State-Owned Weapons Company, reportedly denied the allegations of supporting guns to Myanmar military after the coup.
Some activists have accused the PT Pindad, an Indonesian state-owned enterprise specialising in military, and commercial products, PT Dirgantara Indonesia, an Indonesian aerospace company involved in aircraft design and the development and manufacture of civilian and military regional commuter aircraft, and PT PAL, an Indonesian state-owned enterprise that manufactures ships for military and civilian use and conducts repairs and maintenance on ships and engineering for selling weapons to Myanmar military.
DEFEND ID has announced on its official statement that it follows the resolution by United Nations General Assembly to prohibit the flow of the arms supplies to Myanmar.
DEFEND ID said that the last arms supplies to Myanmar by Pindad was 2016 before the coup. The aim of the supplies is to arm Myanmar military only for Myanmar’s participation in the ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet (AARM) as mentioned in official statement.
It was publicly announced that Pindad hasn’t exported the ammunition and weapons for defence and security to Myanmar after the UN security council calls on since 2021 February.
DEFEND ID confirmed that there hasn’t been any official agreement to sell ammunition and weapons to Myanmar by Dirgantara Indonesia and PAL.
Some activists have filed the complaints to Indonesia Human Rights Commission, against Pindad, Dirgantara Indonesia and PAL for selling ammunition and weapons to Myanmar Military.
The activists have asserted that the money transferred for the sale of ammunition and weapons is through one of the Myanmar based companies True North, owned by the son of the junta’s appointed minister.
