An investor from China, identified only as C, together with his\nfemale associate, was allegedly assaulted by a group of people while\ninspecting a site for a gold mining operation in Enrekang, South\nSulawesi (Sulsel). He was assaulted by residents opposed to the mining\nproject.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have received reports of a Chinese national who became a victim\nof assault along with a female colleague. So there are two victims in\ntotal,\u201d Enrekang Police Chief AKBP Hari Budiyanto said, as quoted by\ndetikSulsel on Saturday, 7 March 2026.<\/p>\n
The victim, a representative of CV Hadaf Karya Mandiri, was\ninspecting the site in Cendana District, Enrekang, on Friday afternoon\n(6 March). He was accompanied by several community figures to take\nsamples at the gold exploration site.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did not know they were heading to the site. We did advise for\nescorts, and they (the victims) said they would report it,\u201d Hari\nsaid.<\/p>\n
At the site, the victims were allegedly confronted by a mob opposed\nto the mining at that location. It was at that moment that the victims\nwere assaulted.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt appears they were surveying with community leaders (without\npolice protection). Suddenly we received information like this (being\nconfronted by residents who oppose the mine),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
After receiving the information, police went to the location to\nsecure the victims and transport them to RSUD Massenrempulu for\ntreatment. Police are still investigating the case.<\/p>\n
