Ciryl Payen, the Southeast Asia bureau chief for the France 24 television station, Gilaume Martin and Dewi Arilaha were apprehended by security officers from PT Lontar Papirup Pulp and Papers, while they were filming trucks loaded with logs parked at the company’s premises in Tebing Tinggi. The company’s head of security, Eriyanto, also seized their video tapes. The three journalists were then taken to the local police station. The police, however, could not think of an appropriate charge to file against them. Despite this, Eriyanto continued to detain them, saying they took video footage of the company’s property without seeking permission.
