JAKARTA - The mass action consisting of students and online motorcycle taxi drivers managed to break into the fence of the DPR RI Building on Friday, August 29 at around 17.00 WIB.

A number of demonstrators had entered the courtyard of the parliament complex, but were detained by security forces who formed barricades in front of the Nusantara I Building, or the Kura-kura Building.

Hundreds of officers are on standby, including two water canon cars that have been prepared at the location.

Participants threw firecrackers and bottles filled with water shouting the name of President Prabowo Subianto.

"Prabowo...Prabowo....Prabowo...." shouted the crowd.

They also sang the song 'Inland' loudly while banging on the fence of the DPR building.

The situation escalated as a number of mobs pushed in by suddenly climbing over the fence of the building.

The authorities tried to dispel the crowd from approaching the entrance to the building. Until this news was revealed, there had been no reports of clashes, but the guard around the parliamentary complex continued to be tightened.
