JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Human rights organisations have denounced the disbanding of multiple public discussions and peaceful protests by “unknown” individuals over the past week, and the police’s apparent indifference to the cases has raised suspicions that the force is aiding in President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s efforts to hold on to power at the cost of civil liberties.
On Friday, an attack was launched on the Global Climate Strike, a peaceful demonstration held in Menteng Park in Central Jakarta that highlighted “seven deadly sins committed by the Mulyono regime”, with Mulyono referring to President Jokowi’s birth name.
