Exxon Mobil settled a long-running human rights lawsuit with villagers who claimed soldiers Exxon hired to guard a natural gas facility in Indonesia committed murder and torture.

The two sides said in a Washington, DC federal court filing that they had resolved the 2001 case. Agnieszka Fryszman, a lawyer for the Indonesian villagers at law firm Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, said the terms are confidential. A spokesperson for Exxon Mobil\n \n said the settlement “brings closure for all parties.

The lawsuit also sought to hold Exxon accountable for alleged atrocities committed by the soldiers. Fryszman said the plaintiffs, 11 villagers who were not named in court filings, broke down in tears at news of the settlement. “They’ve been fighting this case for 20 years against one of the world’s most powerful corporations,” Fryszman said.
