Main Content: DanWatch report & company responses

On 30 May 2008 DanWatch released a report called “Bad connections: How your mobile phone is linked to abuse, fraud and unfair mining practices in DR Congo [PDF]”, which alleged that mobile phone companies using cobalt from Democratic Republic of Congo are running the risk of supporting human rights abuses.  The accompanying press release is available here.
