Indonesia: Various activists groups plan to gather outside the House of Representatives (DPR) in Jakarta Dec. 5

Event

Various activist groups, such as the National Criminal Code Reform Alliance, plan to demonstrate outside the House of Representatives (DPR) in Jakarta from 13:00 Dec. 5 to denounce a proposed criminal code bill. Dozens to hundreds of people could participate in the action.

Authorities will probably impose heightened security measures around the protest site Dec. 5. Localized transport and business disruptions are possible, particularly if demonstrators occupy nearby roads. Clashes may occur if police forcibly disperse the gathering or if protesters attempt to break through security cordons.

Advice

Avoid the protest site and its surrounding areas Dec. 5 due to possible clashes. Plan for localized transport and business disruptions. If any violence erupts nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a safe nongovernmental building. Heed all official traffic and security advisories.
