The U.S. Treasury Department removed Theint Win Htet from its sanctions list on Friday, following a lawsuit she filed and reports that the Trump administration had restarted negotiations with the Myanmar government. Theint Win Htet's father, Thein Win Zaw, founded the Shwe Byain Phyu Group, which had been accused of supplying fuel to the Myanmar military and having close ties to its leadership. The human rights organization Justice For Myanmar condemned the decision, stating that the Myanmar military is escalating its attacks on civilians.
