Some 200 Indonesians converged on a Jakarta square on Tuesday to denounce an Islamic vigilante group known for its armed attacks on minorities and moderates. Public anger against the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), which has launched a series of attacks since 2000 against targets including the US embassy and nightclubs, has been on the rise. “We are not calling for FPI to be disbanded. We only demand that justice be enforced against the violence the group has committed,” said Tunggal Pawestri, spokeswoman of a movement calling itself FPI-Free Indonesia.
