JAKARTA - Students from the Indonesian Student Executive Board (BEM SI) stormed the Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) building to hold a demonstration.
The demonstration was in response to the repressive actions of Brimob (Mobile Brigade) officers who ran over online motorcycle taxi (ojol) driver Affan Kurniawan, killing him.
According to VOI, the crowd, from various universities, including the University of Indonesia, the Jakarta State Polytechnic, and others, began to crowd the courtyard of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) building.
They entered by breaking the lock on the main gate, which was always locked.
Furthermore, the students frequently shouted insults at the police, calling them murderers.
"Murderous police... Murderous police," the protesters chanted on Friday, August 29.
The protesters raised three main demands:
To bring the alleged perpetrators of the assault to justice.
To demand comprehensive reform of the National Police (Polri).
To demand that National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo resign or be replaced.
Meanwhile, in the case of Affan Kurniawan's death, seven Brimob members have been arrested. They are identified as Kompol C, Aipda M, Bripka R, Briptu B, Bripda M, Baraka Y, and Baraka J.
