Logging giant 'paid for crackdown on villagers'

BY LIAM FOX

POLICE IN Papua New Guinea have revealed a logging company financed a crackdown on villagers protesting against a controversial oil palm plantation.

Villagers in East New Britain province have been protesting against an oil palm plantation covering 44,000 hectares, saying the land was leased without their consent.

Last week a squad of policemen was sent to the area and protestors say they arrested two men and bashed several others.

Assistant Commissioner Anton Billy accused the protestors of trespassing into the plantation's work camp and assaulting workers.

He said Malaysian logging giant Rimbunan Hijau flew the officers to the area and was paying their allowances and providing accommodation.

"We don't have any funds to get these people there and pay them allowances and all this stuff. That's normal," he said.

Rimbunan Hijau is yet to comment.
