Young residents of the villages of Teghout and Shnogh began blocking
the road to the Teghout mine this morning at 5. The protestors are not
allowing mine employees to get to work.
Residents are protesting the fact that the mining company had fenced
off a parcel of land, thus cutting off access to a holy shrine in
Lorout and the forest in the mountain above.
Many local residents say they can no longer pick berries in the area.
The young protestors say they will continue to block the road until
the fence has been removed.
