Concerns over the sale increased this week when Telenor confirmed that as part of the
deal it would transfer the call records of its more than 18 million subscribers to the
Lebanese company. Rights activists say allowing the junta to access such information
would be dangerous, pointing out that phone subscribers in Myanmar must supply ID
cards and addresses when registering SIM cards.
Since toppling Myanmar’s democratically elected government in a coup on Feb. 1, the
military junta has brutally cracked down on protesters and opponents. As of Monday, it
had killed 934 people and at least 5,370 political prisoners remained detained,
according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.

In a statement on Tuesday, SOMO said “Civil society members involved with the
complaint have explained their need for responsible telecommunications businesses
that will push back, rather than collude, with repression by the authoritarian
government.”
