JAKARTA - A total of 69 people were secured by the joint police during the action to reject the execution of land Block 15 of the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) area or the former Sultan Hotel, Central Jakarta, Thursday (18/6/2026). In addition, 29 people were reported to have been injured due to clashes at the location.
Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Pol Budi Hermanto, said the number of people who were secured was still potentially increasing as the data collection and examination process was still ongoing.
"Currently, there are 69 people who we have secured and it is possible that it can still increase, namely people who try to hinder the execution process," Budi told reporters in the Senayan area, Jakarta, Thursday (18/6/2026).
According to Budi, the parties who were secured were suspected of being involved in efforts to obstruct the execution carried out based on the court's decision.
In the execution security, the police deployed joint personnel from the TNI and Polri elements. The presence of the police, he said, aims to ensure that the emptying process is safe, orderly, and according to procedure.
"Officers are present to provide a sense of safety and comfort and to ensure that the execution is carried out according to procedure," he said.
Budi explained that before the security measures were taken, officers first accompanied the process of reading the determination of execution by the court clerk. After that, the police gave a persuasive appeal to the crowd who were still in the execution object area to leave the location.
However, the appeal was ignored. The crowd was said to remain and resist by throwing stones at the officers.
As a result of the incident, 29 people were injured. The details, 26 members of the National Police suffered minor injuries due to stone throwing, one TNI member suffered a wound on the temple, and two civilians were also victims.
"Currently, all the victims who have been injured have received medical treatment," said Budi.
Polda Metro Jaya emphasized that the execution was carried out based on the court's decision which had the force of law and in accordance with the applicable procedures.
Therefore, the public is asked not to be easily influenced by unverified information related to the implementation of the execution of the former Sultan Hotel land.
"We appeal to the public not to create or disseminate information that cannot be accounted for. All of today's execution process was carried out professionally, proportionally, and can be accounted for," he concluded.
