Protest mars inauguration

SEMARANG, Central Java: Dozens of students grouped in the Indonesian Muslim Students Action Front (KAMMI) staged a protest here on Friday during the swearing-in ceremony of provincial legislators.

Tension rose when the protesters tried to enter the council building during the ceremony.

The action was apparently staged not in protest of the lineup of legislators, but to raise awareness among them of the need to uphold the people's desire for reform.

Despite the tension, no clashes were reported and the legislators took their official oaths as scheduled. (har/edt)
