Brief facts are that Sino mine police officers, while conducting routine patrols, found Rebecca Stegmann, aged 30, believed to be a German national and freelance journalist, speaking with some residents in Kalusale.
She was later taken by mine police officers to Chambishi Police Station, where, after verifications, she was cautioned and advised to always follow the laid-down procedures and obtain permission from management before engaging in any activities within the mine’s area.

Does she need permission from mine management to talk to the residents? Why were the residents not detained for trespassing as well? The mine management have something to hide. This rogue mining company does not want the truth about the extent of the polution it unleashed on the hapless residents to come out.
We don’t need such careless investors who have no qualms about poluting our environment.
