Lessons resume at Sang Timur school

TANGERANG: Students of the Sang Timur private Catholic school
attended classes on Monday under a paramilitary guard, after
Muslim residents again blockaded the school on Saturday.

Oon Soepriajatna, the neighborhood unit chief, called on the
paramilitary and others guarding the school to leave the
compound.

"Don't create a worsening situation here, we are not fighting.
There is no threat against the students," he told
Tempointeraktif.com.

Twelve officers from the Jakarta Police Mobile Brigade are
stationed at the school.

Students dropped off by cars had to walk about 300 meters
along Jl. Barata to reach the school, while those riding
motorcycles passed through Kampong Bulak.

The school's management has stopped religious services at the
school since Oct. 3. -- JP
