Supporters of Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid occupied the Javan port of Surabaja and marched on parliament, warning of a bloody uprising if opponents try to oust him for alleged corruption.
The protesters stopped ferries from traveling between Java and the nearby tourist island of Bali, port officials said.
In Jakarta, the capital, about 2,000 pro-Wahid students marched toward parliament, burning an opposition party’s flag. Wahid called for calm.
