TEHRAN, Jul 22 - State police said seven people, including four French men aged 29, 30, 32 and 39, had been arrested and charged with trespassing on a railway at the Abbot Point coal terminal.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Police did not identify any of the seven.
Reporter Hugo Clément and his television crew were filming an environmental documentary for France 2, said Frontline Action on Coal, the group leading the protest at the port against India’s Adani Enterprises, which is digging a coal mine in Queensland.
Pictures from the protest group showed Clement crouched in a police van and two others, one with a video camera and the other with a camera, being guided by police toward the van.
Clement and his crew have been released on bail and are due to appear at the state’s Bowen magistrates’ court on Sept. 3.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp said the police charge sheet showed Clement’s bail terms ban him from going within 20 km (12 miles) of Adani’s mine site or less than 100 meters from any other Adani site.
Adani’s Carmichael mine and rail project has been the target of protests for nearly a decade, but opponents lost their battle in June when the company finally received approval to begin construction.
