A top United Nations official has warned of "serious implications for human rights" in parts of Myanmar after the government shut down mobile data networks. According to Telenor, a Norwegian telecoms firm which operates mobile internet services in Myanmar, on June 20 all mobile phone operators were ordered to "temporarily stop mobile internet traffic in nine townships in Rakhine and Chin State." "The directive, which makes references to the Myanmar's Telecommunication Law, does not specify when the shutdown will end. As basis for its request," Telenor said in a statement, adding that officials "referenced disturbances of peace and use of internet services to coordinate illegal activities."
