Members of the Muslim group Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia chant slogans during a protest in front of the presidential palace in Jakarta June 1, 2008. Hundreds of members of the radical Islamic group Hizbut Tahrir rallied against the government's decision to raise fuel prices. Indonesia has raised fuel prices by almost 30 percent, setting off angry protests in a country where millions are already feeling the brunt of the rising cost of food. The placards read: "Reject Liberalisation of Oil and Gas (L)" and "Reject Fuel Prices Hike"(C)". REUTERS/Supri (INDONESIA)
