Ali Alishah, who was jailed in 2012 for protesting in defence of Tasmania’s forests, attached himself to a gate that locks up public forests to allow for logging in the Styx Valley on the 16th of February, 2024 and then attached himself to a machine in an old growth forest coupe three days later, and was arrested. Ali is currently awaiting his court date on April the 29th after being refused bail for peaceful forest protests.


"Over the last 48 hours, out here in the Styx valley, we have borne witness as Forestry Tasmania has laid waste to Tasmania's sacred forests. For me, it is a tragic reminder of the perverse legacy of the failed 2013 Tasmanian Forest Agreement. It condemned ecologically irreplaceable carbon-dense forests, such as those of coupe TN062G, to destruction, while rewarding the loss-making Forestry Tasmania's recklessness, negligence, and contempt for its primary shareholders - the Tasmanian people.


It is now beyond time that both redundant structures, Forestry Tasmania and the Tasmania Forest Agreement, were abolished, and Tasmania’s native forest estate restored and protected in the interests of the people, and generations to come," Ali Alishah said.
