ollowing a rally participated by Catholic priests and thousands of their followers demanding an investigation into a murder, some of the priests claimed that they were terrorized by unidentified men.
Alex Murin, coordinator of the Save Lewotana Lembata Forum, which organized the rally on Jan. 28, said unidentified men visited the priests' seminary in Lembata regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).
'Yes, the priests were terrorized after the rally,' Murin said on Saturday, without giving details about what occurred.
Earlier, the priests and their followers staged a demonstration to demand a probe into the murder of former regency head Laurensius Wadu, who was found dead on June 8, last year. Police have named 12 suspects, but so far have only been able to bring four of them to court. Two of the suspects remain in custody while six suspects have been released.
