MMI Ahyani/HD, Bandung – Five members of Democratic People's Party (PRD) for West Java were arrested by police following unrest in Bandung last 13 June. Those PRD's members were arrested at Kebun Kelapa station Bandung and at Cicadas at noon on Sunday.

Speaking to Detik, according to Natalia Scholastika Ch, PRD's leader for West Java, those PRD's members were arrested following workers' protests at West Java Proovincial Legislative Council (DPRD). "Police arrested in random way. As far as any indication involving the PRD's members, they were directly arrested," She said.

Besides arresting them, Nathalia further said that PRD's office on Jl Rajawali had been "encircled" by intelligent security. "We didn't know, what they were looking for whereas our office was empty," she said.

Five PRD's members arrested are Anton, Wanti, Didin, Asep and Doni. Anton and Wanti were arrested in Cicadas while three others arrested at Kebun Kelapa station, Bandung. Nathalia herself admitted she cannot yet confirm the arrests of her friends to Bandung police. "Actually East Bandung police head Pradopo is planned to meet with us. But with this arrest, we become suspicious that that is a part of their plan. We still see the development of this arrest and try to keep contact with Bandung police head," she said.

Nathalia also said though there's such arrest we will remain to stage an action on Monday against fuel hikes. "It has become our party's policy to oppose over fuel hikes across Indonesia," she said.

Till news being reported, there has no further confirmation over the arrest because East Bandung Police Head Pradopo and Middle Bandung Police Head Edward Pernong have still been contacted yet.
