Incensed voters hold 'shave-in'

JEMBER, East Java: Voters in the town of Jember found an interesting way to express their opposition to the voting results: they shaved their heads clean.

The action on Tuesday was conducted by supporters of the losing candidate Samsul Siswoyo and his running mate Baharudin Noer.

Samsul's campaign manager, Ignatius Sumarwiyadi, said the shave-in protest was because of the Jember regental election, where violations were ignored by the Jember Election Committee and Jember Election Supervisory Committee.

All people could do was to shave their heads, he added. -- Antara
