VISITORS TO INDONESIAN CONSULATE IN MELBOURNE PASS WREATH, 1998-11-18 (photo)

Visitors to the Indonesian consulate in Melbourne pass a wreath lying at the base of a traditional entrance guardian November 18. The funereal tribute, placed by members of Melbourne's Indonesian community, offers condolences to the victims of the recent violence that claimed up to 14 lives during rioting in Jakarta. Indonesians living abroad presented a list of demands to the consulate in the wake of the riots. Their demands included that Habibie and General Wiranto be held responsible for the bloodshed, that the government stop the use of violence, abolish the dual-function of the military, reject the outcome of the special session of parliament that does not reflect the will of the people and to hasten the process of bringing Suharto and his cronies to justice.
