Indonesia: Activists to demonstrate outside Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta from around 10:00 June 27

Event

Members of several civil society groups plan to demonstrate outside the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta from around 10:00 June 27. The purpose of the rally is to denounce the acquittal of a Malaysian citizen who had fatally mistreated an Indonesian domestic helper in 2018. Dozens to hundreds of people will probably attend the protest.

Authorities will likely bolster security at the embassy June 27. Localized transport and business disruptions are possible. Clashes may occur if police forcibly disperse the demonstration or if protesters attempt to break through security barriers.

Advice

Avoid the Malaysian Embassy and its surrounding areas June 27 due to possible clashes. If any violence erupts nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a safe non-government building. Plan for possible road closures and business disruptions near the site and seek alternative routes to circumvent the area. Heed all official traffic and security advisories.
