PATI The demonstration situation (unras) which took place in the Pati Square Hall Hall area on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, in the afternoon experienced an increase in mass. Thousands of people who initially gathered in an orderly manner began to show signs of tension with officers in the field.
The Head of Pati Police, Kombes Jaka Wahyudi, went directly to monitor the development of the situation with the main officials of the Polresta and elements of the TNI.
"We are here to ensure that the delivery of aspirations continues to run safely, orderly, and does not cause harm to anyone," he said.
As the mass tension increased, Brimob ranks were dispatched to strengthen the security line. The presence of these additional troops is expected to reduce the potential for collisions.
"Brimob is not here to press, but to ensure mutual security, both the action participants and the general public," said the Police Chief.
In the action, the masses voiced various demands. However, some groups were seen starting to push the barricades and shouted loudly in front of the pavilion gate.
"We urge all participants of the action to remain restrained and not provoked," said Kombes Pol Jaka Wahyudi.
