Access Now is is calling for sanctions to stop Telenor’s irresponsible disposal of its Myanmar operations.

Access Now and a coalition of human rights organizations call on the international and business community to resist the digital coup in Myanmar.

We write to the Prime Minister of Norway on behalf of 168 organisations in Myanmar to express our grave concern regarding the sale of Telenor Myanmar to M1 Group.

Telenor must mitigate the human rights risks of its sale before passing on the private information of people in Myanmar to a military-linked operator.

Access Now is once again calling on Telenor to address the rights risks that the sale to M1 Group will generate.

The Telenor Board must immediately stop the sale of its Myanmar operations to M1 Group, and protect the human rights of subscribers in Myanmar.

Access Now and partners call on Telenor to halt the sale of its Myanmar outfit to shady M1 Group, and immediately conduct human rights due diligence.

Access Now is alarmed by Telenor’s rapid exit from Myanmar, which raises serious questions about the future of rights online in Myanmar. 

Of the 24 companies Ranking Digital Rights evaluated this year for its Corporate Accountability Index, only seven scored above 50%, with Microsoft topping the list at 62%. Companies must do better to respect users’ rights.

Myanmar has chosen the two winners of its new telecoms licenses, Telenor Mobile Communications of Norway and Ooredoo of Qatar. After winning the highly competitive process, they will have their work cut out for them, both operationally and in with regards to human rights.
