MOUNTAIN OF TROUBLE - HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES CONTINUE AT MYANMAR’S LETPADAUNG MINE (English, Burmese (မြန်မာဘာသာ)
Conclusions: "Amnesty International’s latest research shows that hundreds of people close to the giant Letpadaung mine continue to face the risk of forced eviction from their farmland, and in the case of four villages, from their homes as well. In addition, thousands of people living in the area are at risk from Myanmar Wanbao’s inadequate management of environmental risk at the Letpadaung mine, which is situated in a flood and earthquake-prone area. The ESIA for the mine contains fundamental gaps and weaknesses, which Myanmar Wanbao has still not addressed.
