On 6 August 2024, Christina Rumahlatu and Thomas Madilis were arrested and face defamation charges after members of the Mining Advocacy Network (JATAM) and three youth and student groups – Enter Nusantara, Front Mahasiswa Nasional (National Student Front), and Serikat Pemuda Nusa Tenggara Timur – gathered outside of the Sopo Del Tower in Jakarta, Indonesia to ask the Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP) to address its impacts on the environment in Halmahera, North Maluku, improve workplace safety, and take responsibility for recent flooding that has inundated villages near the industrial park. IWIP is one of Indonesia’s largest industrial complexes for nickel processing, a transition mineral used in electric vehicle batteries and in the production of stainless steel.
