He said that the majority of the mass groups were secured under Semanggi. The police also secured a group of teenagers who were about to take part in a demonstration at the Merdeka Palace in the Atmadjaya area, under the Ciledug toll road, Pesanggrahan, Lenteng Agung and FX Sudirman.

"They all have the same goal to lead to the palace," said Chuswandari.

The entire mass that was secured was taken to the South Jakarta Metro Police Station for data and reports and guidance.

Most of them are not from the Jakarta area, some are from Bogor, Tangerang and Bekasi.

For those who are students, their parents are asked to come and pick them up as a deterrent effect so they don't repeat their actions.
