Rodents in antigraft rally at police HQ

JAKARTA: More than a dozen rats -- often used here as a symbol
for corruption -- were employed by students on Monday during an
antigraft rally at National Police Headquarters.

Students from several universities in Jakarta threw some 15
white rats, each tagged with the names of allegedly corrupt top
police officers, into the building. The policemen on guard did
not react to the maneuver.

"We demand a thorough investigation into various graft cases
at the National Police," said one student demonstrator.

The police are seen as one of the most corrupt institutions in
the country.

Afterward the demonstrators moved toward the office of the
Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to continue with their
antigraft rally. -- detik.com
