AAMCI protests agents arrests

JAKARTA: The Association of Indonesia's Print Media Agent (AAMCI) protested Tuesday the arrest of some of its members by Central Java Police allegedly involved in publishing pornographic materials.

"We are very disappointed with the move," Laris Naibaho, the association chief, said in a press release Tuesday.

"Our job is to distribute the media. If the police want to ban the circulation (of media containing pornographic content), they should tell publishers not to send the material to us," he said.

The association has sent letters to the National Police Chief and Minister of Security and Defense/TNI Commander to further solve the case.(edt)
