Yogyakarta students undergo urine tests

YOGYAKARTA: Some 2,000 senior high school students in Yogyakarta underwent urine tests on Thursday as part of the city's drive against drugs. The students were picked randomly from 50 senior high schools across Yogyakarta.

The impromptu tests were aimed at frightening students into shunning drugs, said Syukri Fadholi, the mayor of Yogyakarta, whose office organized the test. The mayor, however, refused to say how many students had tested positive for drugs or what sanctions would be imposed on those testing positive. -- JP
