More than a hundred loyalists of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI)-Solo Chapter here Friday staged a rally against Indonesians involving in free sex and pornography.

Bringing various posters and chanting "freeing Indonesia from pornography and free sex", the HTI demonstrators marched for two kilometers before stopping at Gladag Roundabout.<<>br />
In his speech, the demonstration coordinator, Erland Alfath Fathonie, said the porn video scandal involving a pop rocker, top model, and TV presenter was a fact of worsening free sex practices.

The sex tape videos circulated to public through internet by unknown people was also the fact of a double edge razor of the information technological devices, he said.

Instead of IT devices` positiveness, they also had the negative sides, he said and urged law enforcers to take stern actions against those involving in the scandal and those disseminating the videos.

HTI also called on the related authorities to halt the dissemination of those sex tape videos and other porn materials to public for the sake of the nation.

Young Indonesians need also be protected from such those porn videos and materials by teaching them religious values, he said.

The video scandal involving Rockband singer "Ariel Peterpan", actress-host Luna Maya and model Cut Tari has attracted public attention over the past few weeks.

Ariel himself had even named suspect and detained by the police. But none of those disseminating the video has been arrested. (ant/dar)
