JAKARTA - Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Pol Karyoto said that none of the workers were secured during a demonstration in the Arjuna Wiwaha Horse Statue area in Gambir, Central Jakarta. "The demonstration on Thursday no one was secured. Indeed, there were many provocations on social media, old images and did not happen in Jakarta. This news is like fishing, thank God we were not provoked," he said when met directly in the Monas area in Jakarta, Thursday 10 August. He also explained the reason why his party had not dispersed the masses even though it had passed the demonstration limit, namely at 18.00 WIB, because he did not want to prioritize repressive actions. "It's been night that there are still women. If we repressive, early repressive of'soft'. The time of the ban has been missed, with our patience convey it through hardening," he said. He also apologized to other residents who were disturbed by his activity because the streets in the Horse Statue area were closed since 12.00 WIB due to labor demonstrations. "We apologize to the people of Jakarta from 12 o'clock to be blocked can't pass because there are enough protesters. It's better to travel in an elegant way by 'judicial review' (review) please channel through it, rather than morning demonstrations that listen to only from the news," he said. Massa laborers who carried out the action since 11.00 WIB around the Arjuna Wiwaha Horse Statue began disbanding at 22.10 WIB. The laborers consisting of the Labor Act Alliance (AASB) and the People's Joint Labor Movement (Gebrak) began to disperse and return to their respective places after they finished the speech.
