BANDUNG: At least 15 students in Bandung have begun a hunger
strike on Wednesday, as prolonged street protests against the
fuel price hike fall on deaf ears.

Macko, a hunger striker, said that the students would stay on
the hunger strike until the government canceled the fuel price
increase. The students are staging the hunger strike in tents
erected in front of the West Java governor's office, and claim to
represent seven student organizations, including the Indonesian
National Student Movement (GMNI) and the Indonesian Muslim
Student Union (PMII). -- JP
