A report by Amnesty International
This report describes how Canadian and Chinese mining interests have profited from, and in some cases colluded with the Myanmar authorities in serious human rights abuses and illegal activity around the Monywa copper mine complex, which includes the notorious Letpadaung mine.
Large-scale forced evictions and serious pollution linked to the mine have destroyed livelihoods and exposed thousands of people to health risks. Community protests have been met with excessive force by police, including, on one occasion, the use of white phosphorous, a highly toxic and explosive substance.
Amnesty International also found evidence of illegal activity including possible breaches of economic sanctions.
A timeline of the Monywa Project corporate relationships is available here.
