Four injured in fuel protest<\/p>\n
SURABAYA, East Java: Four students suffered light injuries
\nafter a clash with the police during the latest protests in
\nSurabaya on Thursday as they were expressing staunch opposition
\nto the government's recent move to raise fuel prices.<\/p>\n
The clash started when the protesting students became upset as
\nEast Java provincial councillors declined to speak with them or
\nprotest the policy with them. They then began smashing the front
\nglass doors at the council and several students were apprehended
\nby the police.<\/p>\n
The protest continued outside the Grahadi building and further
\nclashes erupted when the students defied the police's demand not
\nto disrupt traffic. The four injured students were taken to Dr.
\nSoetomo hospital for treatment and were later discharged.<\/p>\n
Spokesman of Surabaya Students Executive Body, Suliswanto,
\nsaid three protesting students were taken away by the police as
\nthey were deemed to be the provocateurs of the protest. But the
\npolice denied that they were holding the three, saying they had
\nall been released. -- JP<\/p>",
