Lampung people threaten to take over palm plantation [Indonesia]

Following a violent clash with security personnel on Thursday, hundreds of striking workers from a PT Budi Dharma Godam Perkasa (BDGP)-owned oil palm plantation in North Lampung have threatened to take over the 2000-hectare plantation because of the management's failure to end a prolonged land dispute...The communal land was appropriated by force by the former military-style New Order regime and handed over to a Jakarta businessman for the oil plantation.
