Rohman Taufiq, Surabaya – Hundreds of people from the East Java Civilian Community Network (JMSJ) and other NGOs protested against the draft pornography bill yesterday (21/9).

"We reject the draft bill as it only positions women subjects," said Erma Susanti, the coordinator of the protest.

Erma said the government did not need to make a new state decree to stop issue as Indonesia already has the protection of children and protection of women state decrees.

"If the intention is to protect children and women, just revise the two existing state decrees," said Erma.
