Students honored in reform diorama

JAKARTA (JP): The ongoing student-led reform campaign will be
immortalized at the National Monument (Monas), an official said
yesterday.

Monas promotion manager Soleh Satyawirawan said the diorama in
the monument, unlike museums, could accommodate current
historical events.

"To be displayed at the diorama are peak events like the five-
day massive student demonstrations at the House of
Representatives," Soleh said as quoted by Antara.

Thousands of students from across the country occupied the
House from May 18 through May 23 to dramatize their demand for
president Soeharto's resignation and an overhaul of the political
system.

Soeharto resigned on May 21 after 32 years in power.
