Workers at Indonesia’s Grasberg gold and copper mine operated by the local unit of Freeport-McMoRan extended a protest into a second day on Tuesday as they demanded an easing of a coronavirus lockdown
More than 1 000 mine workers had joined the second day of protests and blocked access to the world’s second-largest copper mine in the easternmost region of Papua, Yonpis Tabuni, a workers’ representative said.
"Our demand is not met yet. Today there is a meeting with the local government and the management," Tabuni said.
