SAPA reports: HRC asked to investigate MTN

 The SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) has received a request to investigate MTN for human rights violations in Iran, its spokesman said on Tuesday.

MTN has been accused of facilitating the surveillance of Iranian opposition activists by allowing phones to be bugged.

Rival cellphone company Turkcell has also accused MTN of using bribery to obtain an operating licence for Iran.

The case has been brought before a court in the US.
