Myanmar: Three local activists have been arrested for protesting against a new cement plant being built at Patheingyi Township in Mandalay Region. In late July 2018 local residents marched on environmental grounds from Mandalay to Nay Pyi Taw in protest against the construction of a 5000t/yr coal-fired cement plant in Dahattaw Village-tract, Patheingyi Township, according to the Asia News Network. However, police intervened and started legal action against some of the protestors.
