THREATENED WEBSITE: ROSIA MONTANA.ORG, ROMANIA
The Rosia Montana Gold Corporation is taking Alburnus Maior, a local non-profit organisation, to court to stop them from publishing the [url=http://www.rosiamontana.org]www.rosiamontana.org[/url] website, informs APC member in Romania, StrawberryNet.
The RMGC has high hopes of carrying out what would be Europe?s largest open-cast mining development in this picturesque and historic Romanian village. However, the mining would involve the involuntary resettlement of over 2000 people as well as the destruction of unique archaeological and natural sites.
The threatened website -www.rosiamontana.org- is a strategic tool to help people from the local community make their voice heard and inform the world of their opposition to the mining project.
