Vendors, students clash with officers

JAKARTA: Street vendors in Salemba Raya, Central Jakarta and
students from the Indonesian Christian University (UKI) clashed
with Jakarta public order officers on Thursday evening.

One truck belonging to the officers was burned, while at least
six others trucks were badly damaged.

The vendors and students were apparently angry with the way
officers evicted vendors operating along Jl. Salemba Raya.

Take, a law student at the university, said that one public
order officer had run into a UKI student, prompting other
students to become involved in the brawl. --Antara
