Compilation of three documents prepared for presentation at trials on charges of insulting President Suharto, of leaders of the 1978 protest movement, which opened in late January 1979. The first and second documents are so-called excepties (demurrers) presented to the court by top student leaders Lukman Hakim (who in early 1978 was Chairman of the Student Council of the University of Indonesia) and Heri Akhmadi (who at that time held a comparable position in the Bandung Institute
