The coordinator of the Batui shrimp farming community, Febriyanto Hado alias Ale, was arrested in the middle of the night at around 23.00 Wita by several members of the Banggai police. Friday, January 5, 2024.

The arrest was suspected of criminalization. The reason is, previously Ale and dozens of residents of the former Batui shrimp pond owners held a demonstration at the Banggai Regent's Office. Ale is one of dozens of former shrimp farm owners who are fighting for their ancestral land.

According to Jenie, Ale's wife, her husband only had a verbal argument with the company PT Matra Arona Banggai. This was because the company allegedly continued to carry out activities on residents' land even though they had signed a statement that they would remove the equipment from residents' land.
