- Myanmar activists plan to sue Telenor for allegedly sharing customer data with the military government.
- The data was reportedly used to track and target anti-coup activists, leading to arrests and executions.
- Telenor claims it had 'no good options' and was legally required to comply with Myanmar's authorities.
- The activists argue Telenor should have deleted sensitive data before selling its Myanmar operations.
- Myanmar's military government has been accused of widespread violence and repression since the 2021 coup.
