Indonesia: Health workers to demonstrate outside the People's Representative Council (DPR) in Jakarta July 11
Health workers to protest at the People's Representative Council (DPR) in Jakarta, Indonesia, July 11. Tight security likely.
Event
Healthcare workers from various organizations, including the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI) and Indonesian National Nurses Association (PPNI), plan to demonstrate outside the People's Representative Council (DPR) in Jakarta from 08:00 July 11. The action is to denounce the omnibus health bill, which will be passed in parliament the same day. Thousands of people could participate in the gathering.
Authorities will likely enact increased security measures, including roadblocks and cordons, near the protest site. Localized transport and business disruptions are possible, particularly if demonstrators occupy nearby roads. The protest will likely remain peaceful, but isolated scuffles cannot be ruled out.
Advice
Avoid the protest site and its surrounding areas as a precaution. Plan for possible localized transport and business disruptions. If any violence erupts nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a safe nongovernmental building. Heed all official traffic and security advisories.
