Group threatens to raid nightclubs

DEPOK: The Depok chapter of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) threatened to raid nightclubs if the administration did not close them down during Ramadhan.

In a rally on Monday at the Depok City Hall, the group demanded the administration issue a bylaw banning nightclubs from operating during the fasting month.

They said Ramadhan should be used for religious activities only, and claimed that they had community support for their actions.

The group also demanded that the owners of closed nightclubs continue to pay their employees during Ramadhan. -- JP
