MTN group said it is committed to respecting human rights and endeavours to protect the rights of all people who use their services in the jurisdictions in which it operates in accordance with globally defined standards. “Our approach to digital human rights is underpinned by a sound policy and due diligence framework and is managed through multidisciplinary teams across our markets,” MTN said. However the group continues to comply with what civil society organisations say is an illegal directive to turn off the internet. ICJ in its letter to MTN said that MTN was not obliged to comply with a government internet shutdown order.
