Indonesian Shop Owner and Employee Arrested Over Kreator T Shirt

The latest in mad things to happen in the Metal world…

A shop owner and employee have been arrested in Jakarta, Indonesia. Known mostly for their excellent Metal news with the president being a Metal head himself. It has now transpired that a shop owner and employee have been arrested after selling a t shirt which features the Communist classic of a sickle and hammer. The t shirt which represents the artwork for At The Pulse Of Kapitulation was deemed offensive after its history within the country as it was used within the Indonesian Communist Party (IPK) a long prohibited symbol within the country. 

Eventually the police did figure out that the two weren’t trying to incite dissention and we’re just selling a Kreator t shirt. However they are being questioned at current. They were unaware that it was the IPK symbol. Interesting how the Indonesian president will take to this one.
