> Thousands of Indonesians marched on parliament to demand tougher penalties for corrupt officials, while riot police held them outside the legislature’s closed gates. Protesters want lawmakers to pass a bill stalled since 2008 that would allow authorities to seize corrupt officials’ assets. Some also called for the death penalty for corruption convictions.
