JAKARTA: The police released on Wednesday 10 members of the
Surakarta Islamic Youth Front who were arrested for illegal
possession of weapons during an anti-U.S. protest at the U.S.
Embassy on Oct.13.

Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Anton said the police would
continue legal proceedings against them despite their release.

them," Anton said.
