Since 13 March, over 50 local Indigenous farmers from the Kendeng mountainous area have been sitting with their feet in cement boxes in protest. It is both a symbolic and literal plea to President Joko Widodo to halt the construction of a cement factory in Rembang, Central Java.

If this factory is built, the effects on both the environment and the lives of hundreds of local farmers will be disastrous. Paddy fields – their main sources of agriculture and income – will be damaged and mountainous water sources under severe risk of contamination.
