Siami, the woman who reported systemic cheating at a Surabaya elementary school, attended a meeting via video conference with NGOs on Thursday.

The meeting, titled â??Honesty is Wonderfulâ?, was held at the Constitutional Court, while Siami remained in Surabaya and joined via teleconferencing, SCTV reported.

Siami reported to the Education Office that her son, Alifah, a sixth-grader from Gadel 2 State Elementary School (SDN), had been force to share his national examination answers with his classmates. As a result, the principal and two teachers at the school were dismissed.

Angered parents reportedly intimidated Siami and her family, causing them to leave town.

Delegates from the Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW), Legal Aid Foundation (LBH), the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) attended the meeting, as well as prominent politicians, such as Yeni Wahid, and sociologist Imam B. Prasojo.

Siami’s lawyer Todung said that the meeting indicated that honesty was still a virtue.

â??I am very proud of Ibu Siami. I agree with her action and I will give her the appreciation she deserves. This is a very important moment because honesty is still receiving strong support from the public,â? Todung said.
