Indonesia: Student union calls for anti-corruption protests near government offices in central Jakarta Sept. 19

University students under the Forum Komunikasi Mahasiswa Anti Korupsi (FKMAK) plan to protest near the offices of the Attorney General and Corruption Eradication Commission in Jakarta Sept. 19. The action is to demand investigations into alleged corruption at the Pontianak District Attorney General's Office. Up to a few hundred participants will likely attend the event from late morning, and may hold marches between the main rally sites. Unannounced gatherings at, or marches from popular protest sites like the Arjuna Wijaya Horse Statue and State Palace cannot be ruled out.

Increased security measures will likely occur around protest sites, including heightened deployment of security personnel and imposition of traffic restrictions such as security cordons, diversions, and road closures. Minor scuffles are possible, especially if police attempt to disperse demonstrators trying to bypass security barriers. Traffic disruptions are likely near rally sites, in particular Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, especially if activists block or march on roads.
