Jakarta – Demonstrators were finally granted a meeting with officials from the Corruption Eradication Commission in Indonesia on Tuesday after one of the protesters reportedly slashed his wrists with broken glass.

The demonstrators were protesting against West Java Governor Ahmad Heryawan and his deputy, Dede Yusuf, who have been heavily criticized for spending more than Rp 1.2 billion ($133,200) on 450,000 Idul Fitri greeting cards and stamps featuring the governor's face.

Kompas.com reported that Ahmad Fahri, head of obscure nongovernmental organization Supervisor of State Officials' Performance (Penjara), slit his right wrist using a piece of glass outside the Jakarta headquarters of the commission, also known as the KPK.

"This is the symbol of the people's blood, don't let anyone die here because none of the KPK officials are willing to meet us," he shouted as he was treated by other demonstrators, who numbered in the dozens.

The police finally acquiesced to Ahmad's demands and the protesters met with a KPK official who promised to follow up on their report.
