Indonesia: Activists plan to protest outside Constitutional Court building and Horse Statue in Jakarta from 14:00 Feb. 2
Activists plan to rally outside Constitutional Court and at Horse Statue in Jakarta, Indonesia 14:00 Feb. 2. Localized disruptions certain.
Activists from Forum Anomali plan to protest at the Constitutional Court Building and Arjuna Wijaya/Horse Statue in Jakarta from 14:00 Feb. 2. The action is to denounce perceived dynastic politics and violations of the constitution by incumbent president Joko "Jokowi" Widodo ahead of the upcoming General Election scheduled Feb. 14. Authorities expect at least 300 participants.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are certain along the protest sites. Around 570 policemen will deploy to ensure order. Although violence is unlikely, isolated clashes are possible if police attempt to forcibly disperse the gathering. Officials will impose several traffic restrictions, including the closure of Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat and traffic diversions around the Constitutional Court Building, potentially prompting increased road congestion in Central Jakarta.
Avoid the protest sites as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach nearby destinations; use alternative routes to circumvent rally sites. Remain cooperative if stopped by officials for security checks. Do not attempt to cross roadblocks; wait for authorities to dismantle them. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
