Ivansyah, Cirebon – Scores of students from several universities in the West Java city of Cirebon who took to the streets on Thursday and blockaded the Pantura highway creating a 2 kilometer traffic jam.

The students, who set fire to tyres in the middle of the street, also burnt a "corpse" with a photograph of Yudhoyono attached to it.

Action coordinator Hendra said that Yudhoyono was not fit to lead the country. "Among other things because of the government's inability to fully resolve the Century case", he said.
