PK protests campaign ban

UJUNGPANDANG, South Sulawesi: Around 5,000 supporters of the
Justice Party (PK) staged on Monday a demonstration in front of
the Takalar regent's office, protesting a ban on the party
campaigning.

The activists said the village head in the area 35 kilometers
from here forbade them from holding a campaign at the Haji Langau
field on May 28.

The local PK head, Syamsir, demanded that the regent dismiss
the village head for his failure to be impartial to all parties.
They threatened to bring the case to the governor's attention
unless their demand was met. (30)
