[Green Advocates said,] “Rimbunan Hijau uses tactics such as political corruption and abuses of indigenous peoples' rights within its operations..."... [In Papua New Guinea, according to a Greenpeace report,] "Police and forest department officials have arbitrarily arrested and detained those indigenous people who put up any form of protest, even though such protests are undertaken within the confines of their own lands and they have legitimate rights under the law to such forms of protest"...
