Press Release: New report exposes human rights abuses in Wilmar Group plantation in Jambi, Indonesia
19 Nov 2011
A report released today exposes how local Indonesian police in Jambi, working with plantation staff, systematically evicted people from three settlements, firing guns to scare them off and then using heavy machinery to destroy their dwellings and bulldoze concrete floors into the nearby creeks. The operations were carried out over a week in mid-August this year and have already sparked an international controversy.
