1. Sweden Says Alleged Mistreatment of Greta Thunberg by Israeli Forces 'Very Serious'
Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard said on Sunday that reports claiming climate activist Greta Thunberg was mistreated and forced to kiss the Israeli flag are “very serious” if proven true.
“Even before the arrest, we had conveyed to Israel the importance of respecting the safety and consular rights of Swedish citizens,” Stenergard said in a statement to the Swedish news agency TT, as quoted by Anadolu.
“I have taken note of the reports of allegations of abusive treatment. If the reports are true, this is very serious. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the embassy are working to bring the Swedish citizens home as soon as possible,” she added.
2. PT Timah Agrees to Raise Tin Prices Following Miners' Demands
PT Timah Tbk has agreed to meet the demands of the miners to increase the purchase price of tin sand with a stannum (SN) 70 content of 70 percent from Rp260,000 to Rp300,000 per kilogram. The agreement to raise the tin price was made after Timah's President Director, Restu Widiyantoro, met with the miners during a large-scale demonstration at Timah's headquarters on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Pangkalpinang, Bangka Belitung Islands, on Monday, October 6, 2025.
"I have negotiated with my staff and the community, and we agree to set the price of tin sand at Rp300,000 per kilogram SN 70," said Restu.
Restu stated that they had also received instructions from President Prabowo Subianto, who emphasized the importance of utilizing tin resources for the people's well-being. "Our employees, numbering more than four thousand, are all from Bangka Belitung. We want everyone to be able to function and benefit from this tin," he said.
