JAKARTA - Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol. Endra Zulpan said the police had received seven notices of student and labor demonstrations today.
The action was held in the area of the State Palace, the National Monument, and in front of the Indonesian Parliament building. During today's action, Polda Metro Jaya will filter the participants in the action.
"Polda Metro Jaya, for today's activities, will apply a filter to all elements that will carry out activities to express opinions at several points they go to, including the DPR and the palace," said Zulpan when met at the Monas area, Thursday, April 21.

This filtering aims to detect crowds and prevent intruders from joining the elements of the marchers.
"So, we hope that with the filtering, no intruders are included in the group. Then through this filtering, we will also find out which groups have given notification to the police," said Zulpan.
Therefore, Zulpan emphasized that the group that did not send a letter of notification of the action to the Polda Metro Jaya had better cancel their intention to take part in the action.
"To those who did not give prior notification, we hope that you do not join today's action so that it does not become a problem for other groups who have given notice," he said.
For information, the University of Indonesia Student Executive Board (BEM UI) and the Indonesian Student Alliance (AMI) plan to hold a demonstration today.
Polda Metro Jaya will implement a traffic scheme during student demonstrations in the State Palace and DPR/MPR areas. Under the scheme, several roads were closed.
