Councilors attack pornography

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Members of the City Legislative Council were enraged at reports that some local movie houses have been screening pornographic movies.

"This is an insult, coming as we celebrate our 50th independence anniversary," said Ajib Shah.

Other councilors, including Martius Latuperisa and Zulkarnaen Malik, called the screening of the pornographic films a show of disrespect for the nation's big event, Antara reported.

The scam was uncovered following a police vice operation, which found that pornographic movies were being shown in at least nine theaters before a largely teenage audience. (03)
