Indigenous people in action

It took a group of determined indigenous tribespeople to do
what none of the other protesters could: They broke through the
United Nation's (UN) wall of security to get into the Bali
International Convention Center.

Dozens of tribespeople, decked out in traditional dress,
entered the building by individually stealing into the compound.

After rallying for some 30 minutes, the protesting group
spotted UN ministerial meeting chairman Emil Salim passing them,
and grabbed him for a photo session.

"Please, Mr. Emil, fight for our interests," said one
protester as he shook Emil's hands.

"Yes, I will," Emil said. -- JP
