Protecting Minahasan people

I would like to praise the Indonesian judges for protecting Minahasa and the people of Sulawesi from the side effects of uncaring mining practices. The people of Sulawesi who have suffered skin ailments as the result of the pollution deserve compensation.

The actions of the judges will protect the local people of Indonesia in the long run. The United States has to respect the Indonesian environment, although those who suffer are not Americans. All the people of Sulawesi who have suffered the side effects of mining pollution caused by Ness should be well compensated.
