\nthe state junior high school had asked her about the validity of
\nAgus' remark on MetroTV's Oasis program that she once suffered
\nserious depression.<\/p>\n
\"I want him to apologize to me,\" Nurleila said. Accompanied by
\nlegal aid lawyers, she accused Agus of violating Articles 310 and

The move was controversial and led protests and court action
\nby parents and activists who accused education officials of
\nimpropriety in the deal.<\/p>\n

\nallegation Nurlaila had suffered depression from 1999 to 2001,
\nafter her husband suddenly died in 1999. -- JP<\/p>",
