Indonesia: Activists plan to gather outside the House of Representatives (DPR) in Jakarta Jan. 10

Event

Activists from Labor Movement with the People (Gebrak) plan to protest outside the House of Representatives (DPR) in Jakarta Jan. 10 to denounce the country's job creation law. Organizers did not specify a time for the action. Dozens to hundreds of people could participate in the gathering.

Authorities will likely enact heightened security measures, including roadblocks and cordons, near the House of Representatives Jan. 10. 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 Jan. 10 due to possible clashes. Plan for possible 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.
