AMBON - Ambon Island Police and PP Lease have prepared 1,000 joint personnel from the Samapta and Brimob elements to secure the planned student demonstration on April 11, 2022 on Ambon Island.

"These 1,000 joint personnel have been prepared and distributed at three points where student demonstrations will be held," said Head of Public Relations of the local Police, Ipda Moyo Utomo, in Ambon, Monday, April 11.

According to him, the three locations that are of concern to the Police in conducting security are Pattimura University, Ambon, the Governor's Office, and the Maluku DPRD Office.

"However, it is possible that the student demonstrations will also shift to other places which are suspected to have something to do with their demands related to the issue of the increase in the price of Pertamax fuel," he said, quoted by Antara.

Other issues raised by the protesters were rejecting the discourse of extending the term of office of the President of the Republic of Indonesia to three terms and postponing the 2024 Simultaneous Elections.

So that a number of government buildings or facilities will still be the attention of the security forces to guard during the action.

"What is clear is that the 1,000 police personnel who are prepared today will carry out security in a humane manner according to the direction of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo because this action also takes place in the middle of the holy month of Ramadan," he also said.
