JAKARTA - The masses of the 1812 action from elements of society who are members of the National Anti-Communist Alliance (ANAK) of the Republic of Indonesia are still holding out on Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan, despite being beaten by the police. The masses were reluctant to return home because they had not had time to hold an action in the area of the Arjuna Wiwaha Horse Statue, Central Jakarta, Friday, December 18.

However, the Head of Central Jakarta Police, Kombes Heru Novianto, ordered his staff to keep repelling the protesters. Slowly, the uniformed police, complete with helmets, shields and batons, were still beating the crowd back.

Previously, when the crowd arrived at the Horse Statue area, the Central Jakarta Police Chief Kombes Heru Novianto asked the participants of the demonstration to demand the release of Rizieq Shihab, who is currently detained in connection with an alleged case of incitement and violation of health protocols, to disband.

He said there are health protocol rules that prohibit crowds during a pandemic. "COVID-19 in Jakarta is still high. Please return, you must be healthy and safe according to the health protocol rules. There are no crowds. I remind you to disperse immediately," Heru said.

Previously, Polda Metro Jaya emphasized that it would not issue crowd permits related to demonstration action plans from elements of society who are members of the National Anti-Communist Alliance (ANAK) NKRI.

This demonstration demands the release of Rizieq Shihab, who is currently detained in connection with a violation of the health protocol.

A total of 12,500 joint personnel from the TNI-Polri and the Regional Government (Pemda) of DKI Jakarta were deployed to guard the 1812 demonstration around the State Palace, Central Jakarta.

However, 5,000 percentol is derived from the figure. Meanwhile, the remaining 7,500 were alerted to face uncontrollable situations.

Originally, this demonstration demanded the release of Rizieq Shihab, who is currently detained in connection with an alleged case of sedition and violation of health protocols. However, not all officers were immediately deployed.
