Protests ongoing at Arjuna Wijaya Horse Statue in Jakarta, Indonesia, afternoon of March 27. Increased security, disruptions likely.
Dozens of protesters are demonstrating at the Arjuna Wijaya Horse Statue in Jakarta as of the afternoon of March 27. Activists have gathered to express support for a Constitutional Court hearing on the 2024 General Elections results dispute; counter-protestors are denouncing the challenge.
Authorities are likely to maintain increased security measures around the protest site, as well as at the Constitutional Court, through March 27. Police have erected barricades on Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat in both directions, prompting localized transport disruptions; alternative routes could face increased congestion. Clashes are possible between protesters and security forces, as well as between rival activists.
Avoid the protest site as a precaution. Allow additional time for travel to nearby destinations; use alternative routes to circumvent the rally site. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
