Jakarta Globe – Two groups with two distinct messages are currently protesting outside National Police headquarters as celebrity Luna Maya undergoes questioning in relation to the Peterporn sex tapes scandal.

The hard-line Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) are demanding police arrest Luna and Cut Tari, who allegedly appears in a second pornographic video starring Peterpan lead singer Nazril "Ariel" Irham. "Eradicate moral terrorists. Arrest Luna Maya and Cut Tari now," the demonstrators shouted.

The Indonesian Poor Union (SRMI), meanwhile, asked the police not to become preoccupied by the films. "Catch corruptors and state fund thieves. Don't be too busy investigating the sex tapes. The sex tapes are personal and a distraction from important issues," one protester said.

Luna arrived at the police headquarters at 5:30 a.m., Metro TV reported. Cut Tari is yet to be seen. Both actresses are currently classified as witnesses in the case, though Ariel has been arrested.

Yulius Irwansyah, a lawyer acting for Luna, said the television personality would hold a news conference after the police interview.
