The World Development Movement reports on a successful campaign to stop the Asian Development Bank from financing an open-cast mine in Bangladesh.

A group of protesters occupied and halted work at the Ffos-y-Fran opencast coal mine in Wales yesterday morning, barricading the main entrance to the site, climbing on the roof of the coal washery and chaining themselves to machinery.

A vast new opencast pit will ruin local people’s lives and wreck the government’s climate change policies. How was it allowed to happen?
