Comment on negative impacts for local communities
Ten villages were evicted. Local people have exposed intimidation and harassment by officials and state repression and brutality. One of the worst violent events occurred on 18th November 2014. Without warning, hundreds of officials, surveyors escorted by armed police, arrived to measure land in the villages of Sukamulya and Sukakerta. Hundreds of residents attempted to block officials from entering the village area and police responded with violence, firing tear gas and rubber bullets. At least five people were detained and many citizens were injured from being trampled on and dragged along the road.
