Aluminum giant Alcoa, which is behind the construction of a new smelter in Reydarfjördur, east Iceland, has pressed charges against protesters who illegally entered the building site yesterday, Fréttabladid reports today. Work on the site was halted for approximately eight hours as protesters climbed building cranes and chained themselves to heavy machinery. Alcoa has not ruled out the possibility of demanding compensation from the activists as a result of their actions.
