JAKARTA - Finally, students from BEM UI and several other universities have gathered in the Arjuna Wiwaha Horse Statue area to hold a demonstration. There are seven demands they made in the demonstration on April 21 this time.

Initially, their goal was to stage an action in front of the Merdeka Palace. However, their progress was stopped by barbed wire and a line of police officers behind the wire.

On Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, in front of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, students urged the police to open barbed wire as access to the Palace.

"Please don't restrict our movement. We bring demands from the people, we are also part of the people," said one of the orators of the protest at the location, Thursday, April 21.

Hearing this, the police did not budge. The students also cheered the row of policemen who stood guard in front of them.

"In fact, like this, it is not a security measure but a restriction," the orator shouted to the cheers of the protestors.
