Crowd of Ojol Drivers and Students Stormed Bali Police Headquarters, Demanding Justice for the Death of Affan Kurniawan

DENPASAR - A joint crowd of online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojol) and students marched to the Bali Regional Police Headquarters on WR. Supratman Street, Denpasar.

The protesters demanded justice for the death of Affan Kurniawan, an online motorcycle taxi driver who was killed by a Brimob tactical vehicle (rantis).

"Seeing my friend get run over, I'm heartbroken, Sir Police," said the protesters while giving speeches on top of a pickup truck on Saturday, August 30.

They also demanded the release of demonstrators arrested in several areas by the police.

This mass action led to the closure of WR. Supratman Street. The protesters marched from the Ngurah Rai Sports Center, chanting, "Revolution" and "Murderers, Murderers."

The demonstration has remained peaceful so far, but security measures, such as water cannons and armored vehicles, are on standby.
