The number of Facebook users supporting antigraft officials Chandra M Hamzah and Bibit Samad Rianto reached more than 837,000 people on Thursday.
The Facebook page, titled "The Movement of 1 Million Facebookers to Support Chandra Hamzah and Bibit Samad Rianto," was created on Oct. 29 by Usman Yasin, the day that the two Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) deputy chairmen were arrested by the National Police.
Supporters of the antigraft officials have left messages of support on the page and have called on the government to take appropriate action.
"Pak SBY, your people are restless and your children – the Attorney General's Office, the National Police and the KPK – are fighting. Why don't you sit still, make peace among them, be a good leader?" supporter Budi Haryono wrote.
"Why have A.H. Ritonga (Deputy Attorney General) and Susno (Susno Duadji, National Police Chief Detective) resigned at the same time? Is it another game? Resignation is different to being suspended and Anggodo's status is still as a witness. Why is he not named a suspect? It is obvious that there was attempted bribery, threats and protection for Anggoro Widjojo," Dimas Bramantio wrote.
"Keep on fighting, Pak Bibit and Pak Chandra. Both of you have opened the gate to law and justice reform. I hope the momentum will not pass just like that," Iva Muna wrote on the page.
