Rio Tinto announced August 11 that Sam Walsh Chief Executive Iron Ore acknowledged the second visit to detained Rio Tinto employee, Stern Hu, by Australian Consular officials. The visit follows the first that took place on July 10.
Mr Walsh said the Company remained surprised and concerned over the detention of its four employees, and said the Company had still not been informed of any charges against them.
He further said, "We are still not aware of any evidence that would support their detention. Rio Tinto is committed to high standards in business integrity and takes its ethical responsibilities very seriously." |
