(JP/Theresia Sufa)Dozens of members of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) youth wing Ansor (Banser NU) guarded the Christmas mass of The Indonesian Christian Church Yasmin (GKI Yasmin) in Bogor on Sunday.

Banser members were seen directing traffic in front of a house on Jl. Cemara, Taman Yasmin, Bogor.

The house was used for the mass as police banned members of GKI Yasmin for conducting the mass in their nearby sealed church.
