AKARTA: Eleven representatives of mudflow victims in Sidoarjo, East Java, left for Jakarta on Tuesday to protest at the delayed payment for their lost property as promised by the government and the mining company PT Lapindo Brantas which allegedly triggered the natural disaster in 2006.
"We are yet to receive compensation as promised," said one of the victims' representatives, Edi Pasopang.
They plan to file their complaint to the National Commission for Human Rights (Komnas HAM) The mud volcano has buried thousands of homes and factories in the densely populated area since the hot mud began gushing from a drilling site more than three years ago. More than 12,000 people have been displaced, many without proper compensation.
