Protest underway in Jakarta, Indonesia, as of the afternoon of Feb. 7. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Dozens of activists are staging a protest near the Arjuna Wijaya Horse Statue in Jakarta, Indonesia, as of the afternoon of Feb. 7. The group reportedly started gathering around 11:00 to denounce presidential candidates Prabowo Subianto, Anies Baswedan, and Ganjar Pranowo. The duration of the demonstration is unclear.
Police are bolstering security along the march route. Localized transport disruptions are likely over the coming hours due to police roadblocks on Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat. Scuffles could occur if officials forcibly disperse the demonstration or activists attempt to breach security cordons.
Avoid the protest as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Allow additional time for journeys in the affected area. Heed all official directives. Leave an area at the first sign of unrest.
