Indonesia: Activists to demonstrate outside state-owned oil company Pertamina's headquarters in Jakarta July 22

Event

Activists plan to demonstrate outside the state-owned oil company Pertamina's headquarters in Gambir District, central Jakarta, July 22. The rally's purpose is to oppose the company's alleged monopolistic practices and demand the ministry for state-owned enterprises remove Pertamina's president director Nicke Widyawati from her position. Dozens to hundreds of people will probably attend the protest. The start time of the action is unclear.

Authorities will likely bolster security at the gathering site July 22. Localized transport and business disruptions are possible, especially if the activists occupy nearby roads, such as Jalan Medan Merdeka Timur and Jalan Perwira. Clashes may occur if police forcibly disperse the demonstration or protesters attempt to break security barriers.

Advice

Avoid the protest site and its surrounding areas July 22 due to possible clashes. If any violence erupts nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a safe nongovernmental building. Plan for possible localized transport and business disruptions near the location and seek alternative routes to circumvent the area. Heed all official traffic and security advisories.
