Family members and friends of two convicts in Bandung protested a district court verdict on Tuesday by waving underpants of various colors around the courtroom.
The hearing had seen Deni Muharom and Carli Hamdani found guilty for stealing rocks meant to be used in the construction of a house belonging to Uma Maryono. The pair had allegedly stashed the rocks on a vacant lot in Bandung.
For their crimes, the court ordered the pair to serve nine months’ in prison.
Prosecutors had demanded Deni and Carli serve 1.5 years in prison.
However, after the verdict was handed down acquaintances of the convicts chanted and waved underwear around the courtroom.
“The verdict is unfair. A legal mafia [is at play] here. Take these underpants.” they said, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
The crowd paraded in front of the court’s chief, Joko Siswanto.
