Jakarta – Dozens of members of Pemuda Panca Marga (PPM), a youth organization which is supervised by the Indonesian Military (TNI) staged on Monday a rally in front of the office of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) on Jl. Cisadane, Central Jakarta.

PPM criticized Kontras' human rights monitoring activities in the war-torn province of Aceh, saying that the non-governmental organization showed no nationalism. Elshinta reported.

The youths almost clashed with a Kontras' activist when they torn down and burnt a banner which stated 'Reject Antiterrorism Bill". The activist managed to grab the banner and run into the office when the youths chased and tried to mob him.

Kontras, which was founded during dictator President Soeharto's era, is known for its firm stance against militarism.
