Indonesia tightens security after the deadly protests News protest star-news.press/wp

Police created checkpoints via Jakarta in anticipation of more demonstrations.

The Indonesian authorities increased security after six people were killed in turmoil due to economic hardships that escalated violent anger against the country’s police force.

The fatal protests, which began last week, were forced by the financial privileges of the legislators, President Prabu Subanto, to take the rotation of measures.

The demonstrations began in peace, but it turned into violence against the elite police unit in the country after the footage of one of its teams, which exceeded the 21 -year -old delivery driver late Thursday.

The protests have spread since then from the capital, Jakarta, to other major cities, including Yogyakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya in Java and Medan in the Northern Sumatra Province, in the worst turmoil since Brabu took power.

More gatherings of students and demonstrators were planned in several locations around the vast archipelago of Indonesia on Monday.

The police prepared checkpoints throughout the capital, Jakarta, on Monday, and a police spokesman told Broadcaster Kompass TV that the officers were running in the city “to protect” citizens and give a sense of security.

The police had deployed a convoy of armored vehicles and motorcycles to Parliament late Sunday, in an offer to force while trying to warn the demonstrators.

The Rabu crisis was forced to cancel a planned trip to China this week in a military parade celebrating the end of World War II.

On Sunday, his close ally, Defense Minister Sajafiri, warned against the army and police to take “firm work” against “rioters and deception”, after the house of the Minister of Finance was looted.

At least three people were killed after the shooting on Friday by the demonstrators in the council building in the eastern city of Makasar.

Another victim died in Makassar on Friday after being beaten at the hands of a crowd on the suspicion that he was an intelligence officer, and local disaster official, Mohamed Fadi Tahhar, told AFP on Sunday.

In Yogyakarta, Amikom Yogyakarta University confirmed the death of its student, Rheza Sendy Pratama, in the protests, but the conditions surrounding his death are still unclear.

In anticipation of more disturbances, Tiktok on Saturday suspended a temporary feature of “a few days” in Indonesia, where there are more than 100 million users.
