Two Indonesians die in gold mine clashes
- 12 years ago
Riot police disperse protesters with batons and warning shots in south eastern Indonesia.
Two are dead and many more are wounded in clashes over plans for a gold mine.
Several others were arrested on Saturday.
Demonstrators say the project, a joint venture between a local firm and an Australian company, will hurt forests and drain water resources.
Protests began on Monday, with people blocking roads to a nearby port.
