Tin Aung San (Burmese: တင်အောင်စန်း; in Burmese pronounced as /tɪ̀ɰ̃ àʊ̃ sʰáɴ/; born 16 October 1960[3] [4]) is a Burmese military officer who is currently serving as Deputy Prime Minister of Myanmar, member of State Administration Council (SAC) and the Minister of Defence.

Career

Tin Aung San graduated from the Defence Services Academy in 1982 as part of the 23rd intake.[5] Tin Aung San was promoted as Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Navy in August 2015, succeeding Admiral Thura Thet Swe, who retired to run for political office.[6] [7] [8]

After the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, Tin Aung San was appointed a member of the State Administration Council (SAC) on 2 February 2021.[9] [10] He subsequently relinquished his position as the Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Navy, with Admiral Moe Aung assuming the role.[11]

On the following day (3 February 2021), he was appointed the Minister of Transport and Communications by the SAC.[12] In this regard, the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) claims that the military regime’s cabinet is illegitimate.[13]

Sanctions

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on Tin Aung San since 11 February 2021, pursuant to Executive Order 14014, in response to the Myanmar's military’s coup against the democratically elected civilian government of Myanmar (Burma). The US sanctions include freezing of assets under the US and ban on transactions with US person.[14]

The Government of Canada has imposed sanctions on Tin Aung San since 18 February 2021, pursuant to Special Economic Measures Act and Special Economic Measures (Burma) Regulations, in response to the gravity of the human rights and humanitarian situation in Myanmar (formerly Burma). The Canadian sanctions include freezing of assets under Canada and ban on transactions with Canadian person.[15] [16]

Furthermore, the British Government placed sanctions on Tin Aung San on 25 February 2021, following the recent military coup. The UK sanctions include freezing of assets under the UK and ban on traveling or transiting to the United Kingdom.[17] [18]

Personal life

Tin Aung San is married to Tin Tin Aye, and has one daughter, Yin Min Thu (b. 1989).[19] [20] [21]
