NGO sues NEWMONT!
They have already withdrawn the civil lawsuit. maybe because they knew they wouldn't win without corrupt support? Nobody actually "sees" Buyat Bay, so assume that it may well be polluted. However, there was a tourist promo in the JP last year claiming how "beautiful" buyat is. Very strange! (couldn't find the supporting info, but I am sure it was in the JP)
It was amazing to see this promo in the paper. government officials praising Newmont for their environmental work, pictures and stories about how beautiful Buyat is as a tourist destination. Absolutely crazy, especially as Newmont was in court accused of polluting it!
And people believe what they read in the paper! (no pun!)
I'd say...it's all politics... you just gotta play the game or you'll get screwed!
