WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Washington will continue to impose sanctions on Myanmar's military and those who have helped the junta that seized power a year ago, U.S. State Department Counselor Derek Chollet said on Wednesday.

The United States, along with Britain and Canada, this week imposed the latest round of sanctions on people and organizations connected with Myanmar, targeting judicial officials involved in prosecutions against Aung San Suu Kyi, the deposed leader who has been detained since the coup on Feb. 1, 2021.
