Activists reported to police

JAKARTA: The Red-White Front reported Indonesia Corruption
Watch (ICW) deputy coordinator Danang Widoyoko and rights
activist Munir to the police over the weekend.

The chairman of the front, Eddy Hartawan, reported the two
activists to the police on Saturday afternoon for defamation.

Eddy said Danang and Munir had accused his group of hampering
efforts to fight corruption.

Statements by Danang and Munir, Eddy said, had irritated
members of the front.

Several protesters from the groups Banteng Jakarta (Jakarta
Bulls) and Eksponen 27 Juli threatened to occupy the ICW office
two weeks ago, accusing the corruption watchdog of defaming
Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Jacob Nuwa Wea.

It is unclear whether the Red-White Front also staged a rally
at the ICW office. -- Antara
