Norwegian telecommunications company Telenor has found itself at the center of a scandal over accusations of collaboration with Myanmar's military authorities. According to human rights activists and civil society representatives, the company may have transmitted mobile subscriber data to the military junta, potentially facilitating persecution of regime opponents. Critics have focused particular attention on the deal to sell Telenor's local subsidiary, which they have called "dangerous" for the country's residents. In the view of human rights organizations, the transfer of the business to local entities could have created conditions allowing accumulated subscriber data to become accessible to the military authorities that came to power through a coup. "We hope that now Telenor will finally be held accountable for the damage the company has caused to Myanmar's residents through its actions and the dangerous sale of its local business," said human rights advocates, calling for an investigation into the company's activities. Myanmar has been under military junta control since February 2021, when the army removed the civilian government from power. Since then, international organizations have repeatedly reported reprisals against opposition members, journalists and ordinary citizens, as well as widespread use of digital surveillance to identify dissidents. Telenor, one of Europe's largest telecommunications operators, previously stated that it decided to exit the Myanmar market due to the deteriorating human rights situation in the country following the military coup. However, the circumstances of the business sale and the fate of millions of subscribers' data continue to raise questions among human rights activists, who are calling for a transparent investigation and the company's accountability.
