THE VICTIM OF ILLEGAL LOGGING IN INDONESIA - SAPDILAH (4)

CONFESSION FROM A BOAT OWNER - MR SAPDILAH
ON 15 OCT 2008 IN KETAPANG WEST BORNEO

During the raid, the timber owner had been questioned by the police but no detention was made. The load of timber Belian was the material needed for a Governments bridge project, which had been prepared and ready to be installed. Letters of authorisation issued on the project as well as from the administrative village head were also presented, at the scene, the timber seller was there too but didnt get caught, and the timber owner was on the boat with my boat driver. Why should I as a boat owner become an illegal logging suspect?

At the time of the raid, a total of 14 boats were seized. Why does only one boat get into trouble or bear the blame? Where have the rest of timbers and 13 boats gone? Is it because the timber owners are powerful timber barons who have never ever been touched by law? Where is the justice?
