JAKARTA - A video circulated on social media showing a group of students being dispersed by the police while holding a demonstration against the Implementation of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) under the Pasar Rebo Flyover, East Jakarta.
Ciracas Police Chief Kompol Jupriono confirmed the disbandment. The reason the demonstration was disbanded was because it was considered to disrupt traffic flow and cause crowds.
"Because PPKM level 4 is being implemented, crowds are prohibited. In addition, their activities are disrupting traffic flow," said Jupriono to VOI, Friday, July 23.
In addition, Jupriono also denied any acts of violence committed by his members during the disbandment process.
Although the narration uploaded to the Instagram account @komisi_d wrote that there were acts of violence carried out by the police.
"There is no violence in our advisory process. Be it verbal violence or physical violence," he said.
The students who came from the Unindra PGRI University, Jupriono continued, no one was arrested. They were immediately asked to leave the location and go home.
"No one was arrested, they returned to campus with their own awareness after we asked them to," he said.
