MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: Thousands of protesters staged a
rally on Wednesday in front of West Nusa Tenggara police
headquarters, supporting a government plan to build an airport in
Central Lombok regency.

In the rally, protest leaders gave
speeches in turn before the noisy crowds, throwing weight behind
the plan to construct the airport. The rally came after police
personnel clashed on Sunday with a group of protesters who
opposed the plan to build the airport. -- JP
