PRESS RELEASE APRIL 16, 2025 Such technology requires an export license for transfer to Myanmar. Depending on the date of the transfer, it may therefore violate EU Dual Use Regulation (821/2021) or the Myanmar embargo. Justice For Myanmar reported Compelson to the EU in February 2024 through its Sanctions Whistleblower Tool but has not yet received a response. A copy of the complaint was shared with the Czech public broadcaster Český rozhlas Radiožurnál. Radiožurnál confronted Compelson's owner Dušan Kožušník, who said that the software was sold to Myanmar before the coup attempt. He also claimed that the software does not require export permission as it cannot break passwords or recover deleted data — contradicting the company's own marketing materials. However, the Czech Foreign Ministry told Radiožurnál that it would not recommend the export of MOBILedit Forensic Pro to Myanmar if asked, suggesting that the software was exported to Myanmar without approval from Czech authorities. The Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Financial Analytical Office refused to comment to Radiožurnál on the case, citing confidentiality. The three bodies are responsible for the control of arms and dual use goods. Justice For Myanmar calls on the Czech government to launch an immediate investigation into whether Compelson has violated Czech or EU law by supplying and servicing digital forensics technology to Myanmar police, and apply any export controls, sanctions and penalties against Compelson arising from its exports. The Czech government must also ensure that EU regulations on Myanmar are strictly enforced to prevent the flow of arms, dual use goods and technology from reaching the military junta. Compelson should, as far as possible, remotely disable software it provided to the Myanmar police to prevent future use. Justice For Myanmar spokesperson Yadanar Maung says: "Compelson has knowingly provided powerful digital forensics technology to the Myanmar police, which are responsible for ongoing crimes against humanity. "The evidence we've uncovered shows that even after the illegal attempted military coup of 2021, Compelson engaged with Myanmar junta police, offering updates and license renewals for a technology that can be used for surveillance and repression. 2
