Jakarta – A group of Jakarta locals will form a group to defend Japanese porn movie star Maria Ozawa, or Miyabi, who will visit Indonesia to shoot a comedy film.

Moses Silalahi of Petukangan Utara subdistrict in South Jakarta said he and some of his friends would rally in support of the Japanese adult film star under a community group called the Miyabi Defenders' Front.

"The front will be set up to counter those who oppose Miyabi's arrival, a position which I think has no reasonable grounds as she is violating no law," Moses told tempointeraktif.com on Saturday. The front will be inaugurated next week and will rally support for Miyabi, particularly on the Internet.

Conservative Muslim groups, including the Indonesian Ulema Council, have called on the government to ban Miyabi from entering Indonesia for fear of the negative impact her presence may have on the younger generation. Reports said searches for Miyabi on the Internet had skyrocketed since her planned visit was unveiled last month.
