1,994 Personnel Join Demonstrations In Front Of The US Embassy

Central Jakarta Metro Police deployed 1,994 personnel to secure the demonstrations carried out by a group of Palestinian-related masses in front of the United States Embassy in Jakarta.

"There were 1,994 personnel deployed to guard the action," said Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Police Susatyo Condro in Jakarta, Sunday.

Susatyo explained that the joint personnel were from Polda Metro Jaya, Polres Metro Central Jakarta, TNI, Pemda DKI and related agencies. Personnel are placed at a number of points around the US Embassy (Kedubes).

He added that the diversion of traffic flow is situational. This means that traffic flow engineering will be implemented to see developments and dynamics of the situation on the ground.

Susatyo reminded all personnel involved in security to always act persuasively, not provoking and being provoked, prioritizing negotiations, humane services and maintaining security and safety.

Susatyo also appealed to field coordinators and orators to conduct speeches in a polite manner and not provoke the masses.

"Convey opinions peacefully, do not impose will, do not be anarchic and do not damage public facilities. Respect and respect other road users who will pass in front of the US Embassy," he said.

He added that none of the personnel involved in the security forces carried weapons and still appreciated the protesters who would express their opinions.

"The personnel involved in security are not carrying firearms. Respect and respect our brothers who will express their opinions in public with humanism and professionalism," he said.

Aksi berbela Palestina di depan Kedubes AS diikuti sejumlah masyarakat dari berbagai daerah. Mereka mengenakan attributes bertulkan "Palestinina" dan membawa sejumlah bendera berwarna hitam dan putih yang bertulis kalan syahadat.
