📌📌 2. Legal Proceedings Initiated in Norway Against Telenor for Its Involvement with Myanmar’s Military Junta

The Defend Myanmar Democracy organization announced on October 9 that it had begun the first phase of legal proceedings against the Norwegian telecommunications giant Telenor in Norway, for its complicity in human rights violations committed by Myanmar’s military junta.
In collaboration with the Myanmar Internet Project, Defend Myanmar Democracy is preparing to file a lawsuit against Telenor ASA in Norway.
After the military’s coup in February 2021, Telenor reportedly transferred sensitive user data — including call records, names, addresses, national ID numbers, and location data — to the junta.
Evidence indicates that the junta used this data to track, arrest, and torture individuals opposing the coup, leading to widespread civilian arrests and at least one confirmed case of death under torture.
Despite protests from civil society groups, Telenor handed over this data and later sold its Myanmar operations in 2022, exiting the country. At the time, Telenor had over 22 million users in Myanmar.
The company’s assets were subsequently acquired by Lebanon-based M1 Group and Shwe Byain Phyu Company, and are now operating as ATOM Myanmar. Reports note that Shwe Byain Phyu maintains links with the military junta.
The lawsuit highlights that business decisions made by corporations operating in conflict zones like Myanmar can have deadly consequences for civilians, underscoring the need for corporate accountability and stronger government oversight in such contexts.
