Police clear blockade at Swedish iron project

Swedish police clear Saami and environmental blockade at iron project near Jokkmokk. -
Jokkmokk Iron Mines AB can now continue their drilling and exploration project in Gállok after Swedish police removed the people blocking the road. -
Mining equipment on its way into the exploration area followed and guarded by local police after the blockade was removed. -
“Beowulf Mining has broken all ethical rules. They have refused to talk to the Sami people, the local community and the reindeer herders as such. They have chosen to use power in order to get their way through. They have called for the Swedish police to use violence against peaceful protesters”, says Lars Anders Baer.
