Six students go on hunger strike

SALATIGA, Central Java: Six students from the state-run
Islamic Institute (STAIN) here began a hunger strike yesterday to
protest the soaring prices of basis essentials.

The protesting students stayed inside "a tent of concern" set
up on their campus. They urged the government yesterday to solve
the country's deepening crisis.

The protest is the latest in a series of on-campus protests
related to the crisis that have been taking place across the
country over the past month. (har)
