JAKARTA, Aug 6 (Reuters): Indonesian police have charged a DJ with violating the country's controversial pornography law after the 28-year-old staged a street protest against Covid-19 movement curbs dressed in a mask and red two-piece bikini earlier this week.

Dinar Candy was seen in footage widely shared on social media standing by the side of a Jakarta road holding a sign which said she was stressed by Indonesia's extension of movement restrictions to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
