KUPANG - Alor Police in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) deployed 126 personnel to secure the demonstration of several students who are members of the Cipayung group on Monday, April 11.

"Personnel from the Alor Police have deployed their personnel to secure the demonstration by several students in Alor", said the Head of Public Relations of the NTT Police, Commissioner Rishian Krisna B in Kupang, Monday, April 11, according to Antara.

He conveyed this when answering questions about the demonstrations of the Nusantara Student Executive Board (BEM) which he feared would occur in all regions in NTT.

Rishian said that there were around 50 students who took part in the demonstration which was carried out in the district and so far it was safe and conducive.

The former Head of the North Central Timor (TTU) Police added that until the afternoon of Monday 11 April, there had only been reports that only students in Alor had held demonstrations. Meanwhile, in other areas, such as in Kupang City, there were no demonstrations.

Krisna also appealed to several students in Alor who demonstrated to do so peacefully so as not to cause unwanted things.

Krisna also said that the expression of opinions in public has been regulated in Law Number 9 of 1998, so it is hoped that the activities of expressing opinions in public (demonstrations) are in line with what is mandated by the law.

"One of them is not anarchist so it does not cause conflict", said the spokesman for the NTT Police.

Previously, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Mahfud MD, reminded law enforcement officers that there should be no violence when guarding and guarding student demonstrations.

"In dealing with the planned demonstration, the government has coordinated with security forces and law enforcement, to provide the best possible service and security, there should be no violence, no live bullets, and do not be provoked by provocations", said Mahfud.

Mahfud MD said that the government is paying close attention to the plan for the demonstration.

“The government views demonstrations as part of democracy. However, Indonesia is also a democracy or a state of law", he said.
