In pictures: Indonesian cleric detained
Doctors in Indonesia say the detained Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, who was rushed to hospital last week, is still too ill for questioning.
Police want to question him in connection with a series of church bombings two years ago.
Abu Bakar Ba'asyir denies links with terrorism.
He preaches radical Islamic principals at this school in Solo and is also accused of leading militant group Jemaah Islamiah.
His supporters are at the hospital and have threatened protests if police try to move him.
Police want to move Mr Ba'asyir to Jakarta for questioning, or put him under house arrest in Solo.
Both parties are waiting it out at the hospital. Doctors say Mr Ba'asyir must get more rest.
Some members of the public have shown support for the cleric.
At Mr Ba'asyir's school, the boys are taught the US is a terrorist state.
