    JAKARTA, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Indonesian government has urged anti-Bush protesters to prevent their moves from turning violence and humiliating the symbols of any country, Foreign Ministry said here Friday.

    Spokesman of the ministry Destra Percaya said Indonesia would not ban any demonstration against the U.S. President George Walker Bush before and during his visit which starts on Monday.

    "We call the actions to be delivered in a peaceful way, no anarchy, and it should be carried out without contempt of symbols of country," he told a press conference at the ministry office here.

    Recently, the U.S. embassy in Jakarta has warned against protesters' violence during Bush's visit.

    Frequent small protests against Bush's visit have mounted recently in Indonesia, triggered by protesters' hatred of the U.S. roles in Palestine and Iraq affairs.
