This incident follows a troubling trend of unlawful force by Indonesian police during protests, as highlighted by Amnesty’s previous investigations into similar abuses in 2020.

Amnesty International Indonesia calls for an immediate, impartial investigation into these incidents and urges the authorities to hold those responsible accountable. The organization demands the release of all arbitrarily detained individuals and the provision of legal and medical support to those affected. (Uki Ruknuddin)
