Medan students protest price hikes

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Dozens of university students took to
the streets yesterday to protest the rise in prices prevalent
throughout the city.

Carrying posters saying "Prices rise, the people are restless"
and "Reduce prices now", the students went to the provincial
legislature building and demanded to see legislators.

But there efforts were unsuccessful as the legislators were
attending a plenary meeting.

In the end the students resorted to singing patriotic songs
outside the building and soon dispersed quietly. (21)
