One more dead after protest

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: After fighting for her life for six
days at the Advent Hospital, Saydatul Fitria died on Sunday,
raising the number of deaths from last week's bloody student
demonstration to two.

An English major at Lampung University, Fitria was pronounced
dead on Sunday morning due to severe head injuries.

Fitria is the second victim of the demonstration, following
the death of M. Yusuf Rizal, another student from Lampung
University, who was shot when students clashed with security
forces following a protest against the controversial state
security bill on Thursday.

Fitria was reportedly beaten during the clash by a group of
angry security officers as she was doing journalistic work for
the on-campus publication Teknokra.

Her body was buried in Gadingrejo village of the Tanggamus
regency later on Sunday. (52/edt)
