Pretty amazing stuff going on in Indonesia over the weekend.

It started when the police issued an eviction order for the camp, after last week's action which closed down an APRIL logging concession. The action was strongly supported by local communities - the eviction notice was only secured after pressure from the logging companies.

But then, in a surprising move, the chief of police of Pelalawan district revoked the eviction order, after 300 locals from nearby Teluk Meranti village turned up at the camp the next morning to show their support.
