Students rally outside U.S. Embassy

JAKARTA: Hundreds of elementary school students held a
peaceful demonstration in front of the U.S. Embassy on Thursday
to express concerns about the fate of the world's children,
particularly those living in Afghanistan and Palestine.

Led by their teachers, they bussed to the embassy carrying
banners, some of which read, "Stop the War", "War (is) Not Our
Future", "Just Peace, Not War", and "Save Our Brothers", Antara
reported.

The students were united under the Indonesian Forum for Muslim
Elementary School Students. Many of them said that they were
invited to come to the rally. But they did not tell who invited
them.

The rally also included prayers and collecting money said to
be for helping the victimized children.--JP
