In April, we and @OCCRP published an investigation revealing that the mining conglomerate Harita had knowingly polluted water on Obi Island, Indonesia, with carcinogenic waste for a decade. (Stick around for the thread - there's an update).

@OCCRP The protest involved activists from NGO @walhimalut. After the protest they were visited by BRIMOB - the paramilitary police in "a form of intimidation and pressure against environmental activists aimed at suppressing and instilling fear", according to WALHI.

@OCCRP This week there was a screening of the film in Ternate, in the same province as Obi Island. The screening was disrupted by protestors who said it "was not factual—simply an attempt to cleanse ecological sins" by Harita.
