Norway Parliament Probes Telenor for Handover of Myanmar Opposition Data

Norway’s Parliament has launched a probe into reports that state‑controlled telecoms giant Telenor exposed hundreds of Myanmar opposition figures to arrest and detention during its exit from the country after the 2021 coup.

Among those affected was Myanmar’s civilian leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who was detained along with other elected National League for Democracy (NLD) leaders in the early hours of the putsch.

On Tuesday, Norwegian media outlet NewsinEnglish.no reported that lawmakers from the Scrutiny and Constitutional Affairs Committee are examining the case.

Committee chair Per‑Willy Amundsen has called the matter “extremely serious,” warning that the government, as majority owner, may share responsibility for human rights violations.
