Bogor to move against soft porn

BOGOR (JP): Bogor Mayor Eddy Gunardi has ordered the removal
of all posters advertising soft porn films at local movie
theaters and has directed law enforcement officials to clear the
streets of prostitutes and transvestites.

Eddy's instructions were made yesterday after he received
written requests from students at Bogor's Institute of
Agriculture (IPB).

"We'll conduct both operations continuously. We will sanction
any misbehaving cinema operators who put up their porn posters
again," the mayor was quoted as saying by mayoralty spokesman
Anas S. Rasmana.

Early yesterday, 26 IPB students protested in front of the
Bogor mayoralty office, demanding authorities to haul down soft
porn film posters and wage a campaign against prostitution.

The students, wearing their university uniforms, carried no
banners or placards.

The peaceful rally started at 10:30 a.m.

"We want the mayoralty to move against pornography and
prostitution in this city during the holy month of Ramadhan,"
said Agus Purwoko, the group's spokesman.

"We have seen with our own eyes that there are still many
prostitutes and transvestites offering sex services in front of
our campus and in front of the mayor's office," he added.
