JAKARTA, NOV 15: A short time ago, Indonesia's armed forces chief General Wiranto was being hailed as a white knight for promising to clean up the military's bad human rights record and for supporting democratic change.But after days of bloody student protests and outbreaks of rioting in Jakarta, many today demanded that he quit.At least 16 people have died in the past week of unrest, including half a dozen students shot by troops and police when thousands tried to march on parliament against a special government assembly. One of their key demands: get the military out of politics.The worst rioting erupted on Friday night when security personnel fired volleys of shots, as well as tear gas and water cannons, at students over many hours.Army and police chiefs insist their personnel had no live ammunition and fired only plastic bullets.In May this year, security forces shot dead four students of the Trisakti University during a peaceful protest against then president Suharto.
