Papua New Guinea: Activists harrassed


Greenpeace Forest Campaigner Sam Moko talks to Rimbunan Hijau security guards while attempting to deliver Rimbunan Hijau with the Golden Chainsaw Award.

True to form, Asia's biggest logging company, Rimbunan Hijau (RH), intimidated and detained six of our activists who attempted to present them with a ‘Golden Chainsaw’ award for forest destruction.
The activists were harassed inside RH’s Port Moresby compound and had to lock themselves into their vehicles for their own safety. A cameraman was assaulted while attempts were made to seize his film and his camera was broken.
