Semarang – Four university students of Papuan origin, detained by Central Java police for having raised the separatist "morning star" flag on December 3, 2003, have been set free.

Their release had to do with the expiry of their detention term, namely 60 days. But they were still required to report to the police periodically.

Information from the detective unit of the Central Java police headquarters on Monday said they had to be released as they had been in jail for 60 days.
