A police tactical vehicle (rantis) ran over someone wearing an online ride-sharing uniform (ojol) during a protest in front of the DPR/MPR building on Thursday, 29 August 2025. Multiple reports stated that the victim, only 21 years old, has passed away.
There are claims that a few other people were also run over, though details remain unconfirmed as this story is still developing.
This protest happened following a series of controversial policies by the government, including raising the House of Representative (DPR) membersโ wages and allowances, including a staggeringly high Rp50 million/month (US$3,050/month) housing benefit.
We DEMAND that whoever is responsible for this to be brought to justice immediately.
Again, this is a developing news. To everyone, please stay vigilant and safe.

Ongoing mass protests against Indonesia's โcorrupt elite,โ as described by unions, have taken a tragic turn. Moments ago, one person died in hospital after being run over by an armored police vehicle.
Video footage shows the moment taxi driver Affen Kurniawan was struck by the police vehicle and dragged several meters across the ground. A second person was also run over but survived with serious injuries.
The protests then escalated drastically. Protesters are currently surrounding the police station of the responsible brigade.
The protests, ongoing since Monday, have gained significant momentum as unions and student organizations joined forces against a deepening economic and social crisis. Unions said they mobilized tens of thousands today in Jakarta, while authorities flooded the streets with nearly 5,000 forces, including the military.
