On 21 September 2023, Pohuwato regent office and Regional People's Representative Council building was burned by local miners. They demanded PT Pani Gold Project (PGP) or PT Puncak Emas Tani Sejahtera (PETS, a subsidiary of Merdeka Copper Gold [id][4]) to return the ancestral land they worked on. Previously, the protesters have raided the company's office on the same day.[5][6] The offices were later demolished on 4 December 2023.[7]
