NGOs vs. Sutiyoso on
Mondays, Thursdays

JAKARTA: Several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) plan to
hold rallies on Mondays and Thursdays, demanding the dismissal of
Governor Sutiyoso. The protests will reach a peak on Aug. 25 when
75 new city councillors will be sworn in. Around 1,000 people are
expected to participate in the Aug. 25 rally.

During Monday's rally in front of the City Council building,
protesters walked on stilts, wearing masks that looked like
Sutiyoso's face.

Berkah Gamulya of the Urban Poor Consortium (UPC) said the
NGOs would continue their action should the new councillors fail
to address their demand two weeks after their installation.

The police reopened the July 27 case early in June and named
Sutiyoso as one of 12 suspects. They submitted the governor's
case file to the Attorney General's Office along with the files
of the 11 other suspects, but the office returned them and asked
the police to submit Sutiyoso's file separately.

Sutiyoso was Jakarta military commander when the attack on the
PDI office took place. Official reports said five people were
killed, while 149 others were injured and 23 went missing in the
attack. -- JP

Nervous horse
attacks keeper

BOGOR: Ojon, 45, thought he knew the two horses under his care
well, and vice versa.

However, at noon on Sunday, one of the mares, which he had
been treating for the previous nine months at the stables of Vila
Ciawi Bakom resort, attacked him when he was taking them out of
the stable.

The horse bit Ojon's right arm and didn't let go until other
keepers came to calm it down.

Ojon had to be transferred from the nearest hospital in Ciawi
to the more sophisticated Indonesia Red Cross Hospital in Bogor
to stitch his arm.

"The horse is distressed," said fellow keeper Soleh, who took
Ojon to hospital. "It had an injection the other day ... maybe
the horse thought it was going to have another one today," he
added. --Antara
