Students Gather At The Horse Statue, Carrying Banners "Sorry, Democracy Is Improving"

JAKARTA - Students have started arriving at the Arjuna Wiwaha Horse Statue area, Central Jakarta. This student demonstration again voiced rejection of the Job Creation Law.

This crowd consisted of Gunadarma University students wearing a gray alma mater and Mercu Buana University wearing a red alma mater.

This student brought a command car to give speeches. Beside the car, a number of students unfurled banners reading "sorry for the improvement of democracy".

"There are still many democracy fighters who are voicing their rejection of the Omnibus Law," an orator exclaimed in the command car, Wednesday, October 28.

After giving speeches, they recited several national songs. Other student protesters sat in the middle of Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat which was closed by officers.

Behind the barrier, policewomen formed a line while monitoring student action activities. Behind the police line, several barracuda and mass decomposers were prepared.
