Myanmar: Letpadaung mine protesters still denied justice

27 Nov 2015

Myanmar’s government stands accused of putting profits before human rights at the Letpadaung copper mine, with continued detention of activists and continued refusal to investigate use of white phosphorous against peaceful protestors, said Amnesty International…

Villagers living in and around the area which has been earmarked for mining operations but not yet taken over by Myanmar Wanbao…continue to live under the threat of forced eviction. Myanmar Wanbao has been given the go-ahead to construct the Letpadaung mine, despite adequately failing to address critical risks for local communities…

The government has also failed to address community concerns about the pollution caused by the mining operations and the nearby sulphuric acid factory run by the military-owned conglomerate, Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited…[Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Wanbao to respond; it did not do so.]
