Mock Electoral Debate in Indonesia

Greenpeace activists stage a mock electoral debate at the Perjuangan Rakyat Monument, in Bandung.
Activists are dressed as members of society who could be effected by the hazardous waste industry, and other activists are dressed as prospective candidates for Governor of West Java, as a call for the Indonesian government to take immediate action and adopt a zero discharge policy to protect the Citarum and other rivers in West Java.
The action accompanies the release of a Greenpeace report "Toxic Out of Control" (Bahan Beracun Lepas Kendali). The findings reveal harmful chemicals released by industries into Citarum. Some of the harmful chemicals found in ten samples are persistent (do not easily biodegrade), bioaccumulative (may accumulate in the living organisms) and can cause a variety of health problems and can even lead to cancer.
