Parties unite to move Myanmar sanctions bill






Bipartisan lawmakers on the House Foreign Affairs Committee joined forces Thursday to advance legislation slapping new sanctions on Myanmar's military regime for its violent purge of ethnic minorities.

The proposal, sponsored by Reps. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) and Steve Chabot (R-Ohio), is designed to punish Myanmar's leaders for their long-running campaign of brutality and displacement against the Rohingya, a Muslim group occupying western regions of the state.
