Demo Damai Menyambut Presiden Indonesia
Protesters greet Indonesian President Yudhoyono during state visit to Britain
LONDON � The president of Indonesia met Queen Elizabeth II Wednesday during a visit to Britain that was marred by protesters accusing him of human rights abuses.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Indonesia�s first lady Ani Bambang Yudhoyono were welcomed by the queen and her husband Prince Philip in a ceremony at London�s Horse Guards Parade. The two couples then took part in a state carriage procession to Buckingham Palace, where the visiting couple will stay during their three-day visit.
About 50 demonstrators holding placards that read �Stop killing Papuans� protested the Indonesian leader�s visit outside Prime Minister David Cameron�s residence on 10 Downing Street. They claim Yudhoyono has committed crimes of humanity against tribal people in West Papua.
Rights groups including the New York-based Human Rights Watch have said that Indonesia�s military is responsible for some of the violence in Indonesia�s restive Papua province, home to a decades-long low-level guerrilla war. Yudhoyono has conceded that Indonesian security forces had overreacted at times but said the attacks were �on a small scale with limited victims.�
Later Wednesday, two human rights activists tried to reach Yudhoyono�s car but were stopped by police. Scotland Yard confirmed that they arrested one man for attempting to disrupt the leader�s visit.
The queen, who along with her husband visited Indonesia 33 years ago, is to host a lavish state banquet in honor of her guests later Wednesday.
