Myanmar: Sino-Myanmar pipeline project faces complaints for land compensation from six hundred protesters

"Hundreds in Myanmar Protest Lack of Payment For Land Confiscated For Pipeline Project", 22 March 2018

About 600 Myanmar protesters...demanded compensation from the Sino-Myanmar operators of dual pipelines in western Myanmar’s Rakhine state for land they confiscated for the massive and controversial project.

The U.S. $2.5 billion Shwe pipeline project...has been dogged by complaints about little or no land compensation along with a loss of livelihoods for local fishermen.

The protesters from Ann township in Kyaukpyu district demanded that Chinese state-owned oil company China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), or PetroChina, and Myanmar's state-owned Myanma Oil & Gas Enterprise (MOGE) pay them for land they had to give up for the pipeline project.
