Telenor provided thorough
documentationof the
human rights challenges it
faced in Myanmar since
2014, including a list of
shutdown orders. In
addition to the pressures it

human rights activists, who
have emphasized the risks

civil society organizations
from Myanmar to provide
training and support to
former clients and
employees there.
