JAKARTA (JP): Some 50 activists from several non-governmental
organizations staged a rally here on Monday protesting the
Consultative Group on Indonesia (CGI), which, they claim, had
aggravated the situation in the country.

The rally was conducted in front of the Ministry of Finance
office in Central Jakarta as a CGI pre-session meeting was about
to begin.

Former minister of finance Frans Seda who was supposed to join
the meeting had to climb over the 1.5-meter high office fence to
get in as security personnel had to close the gate to prevent
protestors from entering the office compound.

The rally ended peacefully without incident later in the
day.(01)
