Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara – Hundreds of people grouped under the Anti-Pornography Generation Alliance staged a rally at the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) governor's office Friday in support of the anti-pornography bill.

The demonstrators carried a 100-meter-long cloth, asking residents to write their signatures on it to show their support for the bill now being deliberated at the House of Representatives.

Speaking before the demonstrators, Governor Zainul Majdi said he supported the demonstrators approval of the bill.

"Let's not make noise about anti-pornography, then secretly enjoy porn materials. It's hypocritical," Zainul said. He added his signature to the cloth prepared by the demonstrators.

He said the bill was important because of the omnipresence of pornographic materials in the country, including in his province.
