Jakarta – Jakarta police are holding 85 people arrested in opposition protests Sunday marking the one year anniversary of riots in the capital. Jenny Grant in Jakarta reports police expect to charge five of those in custody with fomenting hatred against the government.

Jakarta police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Edward Aritonang told V-O-A Monday police may charge five people with sowing hatred against the government, because they were handing out anti-government pamphlets at the weekend rally. he said the pamphlets criticized the government and president Suharto.

Mr. Aritonang said more than 70 of the detainees would be released later Monday, but did not give a time frame for when the five would be charged. he also did not comment on the status of the other 10 people in custody.

The 85 people were arrested after thousands of people staged a Long March from the headquarters of the Indonesia Democracy Party – or P-D-I – to North Jakarta on Sunday. another nine protesters were arrested in the Central Java town, Yogyakarta for holding commemorations marking the first anniversary of the riots.

The riots were sparked when the P-D-I headquarters was attacked by supporters of Suryadi, the party's rival leader. most of the protesters are fervent supporters of the P-D-I'S ousted leader, Megawati Sukarnoputri. the Human Rights Commission says five people died in the riots, 149 people were injured and 16 are still missing.

A group of students protested at the National Human Rights Commission in Jakarta Monday, saying the military overreacted against the weekend demonstrations by blocking off the road outside the party offices. the students said the heavy military presence scared people on the streets Sunday and prevented many Megawati supporters from joining in.

One of the protesters, 23 year old Ary from the Indonesian Technology Institute, called on the commission to investigate Sunday's events and the behavior of the military.

The students say nine people wearing Megawati T-shirts were injured in two separate unprovoked attacks by plainclothes police. The students, from a group called "The Committee to Remember One Year Since The July 27 Tragedy". presented commission members Sugiri and Mohammad Salim with a detailed chronology of the alleged attacks.
