The report starts with describing the situation at the Parliament building like a "market place" with protest delegations coming and going every day. These groups were allowed to proceed under the watchful eye of the security forces. The report provides a more in-depth report of a demonstration organised by a group called SIAGA (the name means READY)

The report goes on: This group was given a more negative welcome by the security forces. They were halted and prevents from entering the courtyard of Parliament. When they asked why they were being stoped, an officer said tersely: "Orders from our superiors."

Speaking for the group, Ratna Sarumpaet, the playwright, said she could not understand why people were not being allowed to speak to members of Parliament. If more are prohibited, dont be surprised if yet more people will flood the streets, she said. "And if casualties start falling, whose responsibility will it be?" she asked. "This is a clear example of the government shutting its earts and showing no concern about people's conditions."

The group carried a banner 8 by 1.5 metres big saying: "We reject Suharto!" The protesters were dressed in black with red headbands all carrying the word SIAGA. They held aloft many posers. This seems to have made the authorities decide to prevent them from going any further.

After failing to negotiate any solution, Ratna read out a statement demanding a total overhaul of the political and economic system. It called on the MPR – which will meet next month – to accept Amien Rais and Megawati as candidates for the presidential election and rejedted Suharto's nomination for the post.

The crowd then went to Megawati's residence and held a dialogue with the PDI leader.
