YOGYAKARTA: Representatives from eight local Non-Governmental
Organizations (NGO) came to the City Council on Thursday,
demanding that councillors summon the city police chief over
several major unsolved cases.

The cases include the murder of journalist Fuad Mohammad
Syafruddin alias Udin (1996), the attempt to burn Masjid Gedhe
mosque (1999), and the Sardjito Hospital bombing (2000).

"The police's capability in handling major cases are
questionable. They don't seem to be serious and (the process) is
not transparent," Budi Santoso, chairman of Yogyakarta Legal Aid
Institute (LBH) told the Council's deputy speaker Totok Daryanto.
