Philippines: Minister threatens campaigners

Philippines: Minister threatens campaigners
16 May 2005

The Philippines' Environment Minister has threatened local and foreign
campaigners with arrest if they continue to 'agitate communities'.



The move is a response to criticisms of TVI, the Canadian mining
company which operates a gold mine on the land of the Subanen tribe.
'They have no right to meddle in the affairs of the country,' said the
Minister. Survival-International
