Facebook among firms named on Myanmar human rights 'dirty list'

Forty-nine companies accused of human rights and environmental abuses

Facebook is among a number of companies from the US, UK, France, Switzerland and China named on a "dirty list" of corporations accused of involvement in human rights and environmental violations in Myanmar, or of doing business with the country's military, which is accused of genocide.

A list of 49 companies, compiled by the pressure group Burma Campaign UK, reveals the global breadth of international organisations that have continued to provide arms, infrastructure, technology, engineering and expertise to the Burmese military, or supported projects that have been accused of causing environmental destruction, such as hydroelectric dams and jade mines.
