Fishermen and protesters attacked dredger
Hundreds of fishermen and environmental activists approached the 'Queen of Netherlands' on Sep 12, 2020, off Makassar, when the ship was sailing to a dredigin site in waters of Takalar Regency. The ship was hit by stones and molotov cocktails, which ignited fires on board. The protesters also cut several pneumatic cables. The dredger had to return back to Makassar. The water police meanwhile intervened and arrested 12 protesters, who were belonging to the Indonesian Forum for the Environment WALHI, the Indonesian branch of NGO Friends of the Earth.
