Greenpeace UK’s executive
director John Sauven was today prevented from entering Indonesia.
Sauven was blocked by
immigration officials on arrival at Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport, despite having a business visa for his trip. He has been informed by
officials that he will be deported immediately.
Just before 5pm local time
(11am BST), Sauven was led away by security guards. The local Greenpeace office
are currently trying to find out how why he has been deported despite holding
all the correct paperwork. The British Embassy has been informed.

Toy
giant Mattel, the company behind Barbie, announced today that it will stop
buying paper and packaging linked to rainforest destruction following a global
campaign by Greenpeace.
As part
of its new commitments, Mattel is instructing its suppliers to avoid wood fiber
from companies “that are known to be involved in
deforestation.”
One
such company is the notorious Asia Pulp and Paper group (APP), which Greenpeace
investigators have shown to be involved in widespread rainforest clearance in
Indonesia.

Ken dumps Barbie: how our campaign launched in June
You read that right – following over half a
million emails sent by you, Barbie has realised that toying with deforestation
is no game. Mattel, the company behind Barbie, has decided that being involved
in the destruction of Indonesia's
rainforests is bad for business as well as the planet, and has dropped
deforestation from its production line.

Advert placed by APP subsidiary Solaris in Australian newspapers (via Mumbrella)
One of Asia Pulp and Paper's
Australian companies has been caught in an embarrassing PR incident, in which
clumsy personal attacks on Greenpeace campaigners and others have been traced
back to its staff.

Cleared forest in Sumatra, in what was once tiger habitat
The news from Indonesia today that Asia Pulp & Paper (APP)
has moved a tiger from one part of South Sumatra province to another in order to protect it. This is
supposed to prove that company has green stripes. But, as with anything emanating
from the APP publicity machine, scratch beneath the surface and you'll find an
altogether different tale.
