Police Do Not Allow Labor Demonstrations, Will Prevent Mass Departures

JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya has not issued a demonstration permit against the Omnibus Law or the Work Creation Bill (RUU). The police will prevent the crowd from the starting point of departure.

"In each region, we have also conveyed that we will disperse and disperse them so that they don't come here," Kombes Yusri Yunus, Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, told reporters, Monday, October 5.

However, in the process of dismissing the police, they will still prioritize a humane way. One of them is by appealing to the masses who will participate in demonstrations.

"We are urged to be persuasive and humanist to return to all of them so that there is no need for demonstrations. That's an appeal," he said.

If the appeal remains ignored, the police will take other measures. The police will be on patrol to find the crowd who still left and ask them to return to their homes.

"We have made an appeal as an incentive and preventive action. We do patrols to meet all of them. We ask them all to go home," said Yusri.

In implementing this security scheme, the police deployed around 9,346 joint personnel from all Polres in the jurisdiction of Polda Metro Jaya.

The demonstration against the Omnibus Law or the Work Creation Bill (RUU) will be attended by workers from the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) areas massively.

However, the time for the demo is not yet known. The police are still on standby to anticipate these demonstrations.
