Jakarta – Two non-government organizations (NGOs), Petisi 28 and the Indonesian Students' Action Front, staged a protest at the House of Representatives Tuesday.

Three protestors donned colorful wigs and masks depicting President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's face. Some threw eggs at two cars with the license plates B 17323 RFS and RI 6, both of which were parked at the entrance of the House.

A scuffle with security guards ensued as the guards hauled off the one of the protester, Lubis, who allegedly threw an egg.

"There is just one way to take SBY down," Haris Rusli of Petisi 28 said in his oration. President Yudhoyono had to be taken down as he was part of the reason why cases such as Bank Century and Gayus H. Tambunan remained unresolved, he added.

Security officers moved the rest of the small crowd of protesters away from the House. (gzl)
