Surabaya (ANTARA News) - In a one-year period since May 3, 2007, there were 60 cases of violence against journalists in Indonesia, the Indonesian Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) said in a report.

In seven cases, the violence was done through threats, in five cases through harassment, in seven cases through eviction or expulsion, in three cases through imprisonment, in four cases through censorship, in 21 cases through phyical assault, and in eight cases through law suits.

Most of the perpetrators of the violence against journalists and the press were mobs and hoodlums, civil government, police and military personnel.

In one case, for example, two TV and one radio reporter were attacked by a mob in Bojonegoro`s town square on April 30 because of local resentment against some press coverage.

On April 2, two TV-One journalists who were doing their job were manhandled by people in navy uniforms in Cikarang`s business district, Bekasi.

Apart from physical violence against journalists, press freedom was also threatened by a clique of people using the power of money or their position. In one such case, Tempo journalist Metta Darmasaputra who was investigating suspected tax evasion by PT Asian Agri owned by business tycoon Sukanto Tanoto, was in September 2007 questioned and threatened by Jakarta police on the basis of information obtained by bugging Metta`s communications.

Along with ngudarasa several residents who were met Expose, on Saturday (3/5).
Sridadi
the Secretary RT 05/I Semanggi

I did not like that understand what happened to chickens belonging to the resident in RT 06 that, really was affected by bird flu or not.
But because the other poultry was also destroyed was significantly quite true bird flu.
If like that should from the related service or Chairman RW carried out the socialisation to residents around it, including the resident in our territory that his location was neighbouring.
So as the resident could make preparations and increase vigilance.
If necessary the resident around also was given by counselling about the disinfection and was given disinfectant to prevent the spreading of the bird flu virus.
Just frank, although often has been given by the socialisation by the official from the Community Health Centre, the resident in this region many that have an attitude did not care.
The proof is, still many residents who left the chicken and the poultry that were maintained by him wandering in the settlement.


Hari
Kader PKK RT 07/I
Semanggi
Officially Pertanian (Dispertan) Solo and the RT side or RW that was relevant ought to at once carry out the socialisation to the resident around it, including our RT territory.
Therefore, the resident will not feel restless and wondering, that in the long run even provoked the speculation that unnot.
Many right the resident in this territory that did not know what in fact the bird flu?
How his effect, the method detected him, and how also steps in his prevention.
The resident here most had an apathetic attitude.
If not yet having casualties who fell because of the illness near them, they not yet would really believed.
Therefore, we really hoped Dispertan wanted to intervene immediately carried out the socialisation.

Suyoto
Ketua RT 05/I
Semanggi
The resident's knowledge in this territory concerning the bird flu illness still was very minimal.
Most they only knew him through the presentation in television.
In fact, rare also television gave the complete presentation, beginning with what and how this illness, how his spread, steps in his prevention et cetera.
Therefore, with the incident in RT one that there is several chickens that died because of bird flu, ought to become the warning for the Pertanian Service, Dinas Kesehatan, or the Community Health Centre side, to more again active carried out the socialisation.
With the incident, the resident definitely hoped lest the virus spread to the human body.
Therefore, knowledge concerning how the prevention, the handling, and the introduction to signs of bird flu really important to be spread.
