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
