TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Alumnae and academicians from a number of universities on Sunday, 22 February 2014 during the Car Free Day were staging rallies and oration to express their views on the ongoing standoff between the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the national police.


The group also visited the national police headquarter and meet with top police officials to express their views on the issue.


"After the rally and the oration from representatives of universities, we will hold a long march to Trunojoyo," said head of Alumnae Association of University of Indonesia, Chandra Motik.


According to Chandra, the rally was part of the official stand of a number of universities to reject any efforts to criminalize KPK leaders and investigators.


Chandra also hoped that all top police officials realize that all their actions would be monitored by all elements of the society, including academicians, alumnae, and university students all across Indonesia.
