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).

🧵3/5 Sementara film “Yang Mengalir di Kawasi” tidak menjawab apakah kromium-6 pernah terekam dalam 1 dekade terakhir, seperti diungkap investigasi kami . Film ini diterbitkan “Info TEMPO”, yang pada dasarnya adalah lini iklan dari media terkemuka TEMPO.

Harita Nickel has never responded to any of our requests for comment on what we found out about their operations. We'd love to hear from them directly.

@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.

@OCCRP Tempo is perhaps Indonesia’s most respected news outlets. But in this case, it appears to be publishing PR for a company and failing to disclose that. But that's a separate story.

@OCCRP The next month, Tempo published a film on the same subject - life on Obi Island and Harita - but presenting a very different picture, one of a very responsible company. Strange right? Well, it was published by "INFO Tempo" - essentially an advert. But that's not made clear.
