JAKARTA - The police have detained two activists from the Unified People Coalition (KRB) for allegedly burning flyers with pictures of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Vice President Jusuf Kalla at the State Palace yesterday.
The two, Andi Permana and Asibun Aliya, were accused of waving anti-government banners. “We are still questioning them,” said Yogyakarta Police Commissioner Pitoyo Agung Yuwono, adding that the police also confiscated flyers and banners condemning the government.
KRB coordinator Arif Brahman explained that the demonstration carried out by 50 students, NGOs, and workers are demanding that the President withdraw the ratified four-ministerial decree. “We want the police to release our friends,” Arif said.
