JAKARTA - A crowd from the Indonesian Student Executive Board (BEM SI) shouted at Jakarta Metropolitan Police Chief Inspector General Asep Edi Suheri when he demanded an apology for the repressive actions of Brimob officers who ran over online motorcycle taxi (ojol) driver Affan Kurniawan, killing him.
It began when Inspector General Asep Edi Suheri made a statement in front of thousands of students from various universities.
The Jakarta Metropolitan Police Chief then apologized for the incident that killed Affan Kurniawan on August 28th.
At that point, the students shouted insults at the two-star general. The crowd seemed to reject the apology.
"Murderer... Murderer... Murderer," the crowd chanted at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police Chief.
Asep did not respond to any of the insults and curses from the crowd, who were disappointed with the police's actions. He continued to make a statement regarding the outcome of the handling of the Affan Kurniawan death case.
Seven Brimob officers have been arrested in the Affan Kurniawan case. Their initials were Police Commissioner C, Police Inspector M, Police Brigadier R, Police Brigadier B, Police Brigadier M, Baraka Y, and Baraka J.
During the demonstration, the protesters raised three main demands: to prosecute the alleged perpetrators of the assault; to demand comprehensive reform within the National Police; and to urge National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to resign or be replaced.
