Village officials to stage rally at House of Representatives, Jakarta, Indonesia, Nov. 23. Increased security, transport disruptions likely.
Village officials, representing eight organizations, plan to protest in front of the House of Representatives in Jakarta Nov. 23. The start time of the action is unclear; however, authorities are enacting road closures on Jalan Gatot Subroto 08:00-18:00 due to the demonstration. The purpose of the action is to demand the House of Representatives ratify the revision to Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. Organizers expect around 1,000 activists to join the demonstration.
A heightened security presence, as well as localized transport disruptions, are likely around the protest site. Isolated scuffles may occur between police and activists, posing incidental risks to bystanders.
Avoid the protest as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near the protest site. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
