At least two protestors reported to have been killed in clashes with police over riots relating to a new gold mine on Sumbawa island in Indonesia
At least two people were killed and eight wounded in clashes between protesters and police during demonstrations over a planned gold mine in eastern Indonesia, police said.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in the town of Bima in the West Nusa Tenggara province on Sumbawa island, disrupting port and ferry services.
The gold mining project is a joint venture between Indonesia’s PT Sumber Mineral Nusantara and Australian-listed Arc Exploration Limited, according to the Arc Exploration website (www.arcexploration.com.au).
The company said in its June quarterly report no exploration work was possible in the quarter because of protests.
Women and children were among protesters who have barricaded roads and the town’s port since Monday and a police station and a government office were burnt down, police spokesman Saud Usman Nasution said in a statement. Read more…
