JAKARTA - The former Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Roy Suryo did not agree with the acts of violence that were perpetrated against anyone, including the case of the Indonesian University lecturer Ade Armando who was beaten by the masses during today's demonstration.

"I don't agree with violence, let alone falling victim to it. However, everyone should do introspection & self-awareness," Roy Suryo tweeted, quoted via his personal Twitter account, @KRMTRoySuryo2, reported Monday, April 11 night.

According to Roy, it is impossible for this action to be carried out spontaneously. Obviously, there are things that trigger it. It's a different matter if the incident was carried out by an intruder.

"The AA's assault must have had a trigger. It couldn't have happened Spontaneously, except by an INTRODUCER (as "Analysis" so far). Hope you get well soon, Be Concerned. AMBYAR," added Roy.

Previously, the police had arrested a number of suspected perpetrators of beating Ade Armando. Intensive examination is still being carried out. "We have detained several people," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Monday, April 11.

However, Zulpan did not specify the number of suspected perpetrators who had been arrested. According to him, the investigation is still in progress to prove their involvement in the beatings.

"I can not convey the total," he said.

Zulpan also said that during the demonstration, it was not only Ade Armando who experienced acts of violence. Several members of the Police were also targeted by the mass of action.

"Earlier, at the end of the action, they carried out provocations and threw attacks at the officers who injured the purity of this action," said Zulpan.
