Law course for priests, youths

DILI, East Timor: The head of Provincial Prosecutors Office, J.F. Martanto, said his office would hold a law course for local priests and youths, two elements of society who can bridge gap between the community and the government.

"The voice of priests and youths must be heard," Martanto said. "They can help raise people's awareness of the law."

He did not give details as to when the course would begin or how many people would be involved.

Martanto said it would take some time to educate them about Indonesian law, given the length of time they were under Portuguese rule. (33)
