JAKARTA: A group of women activists and intellectuals calling themselves Suara Ibu Indonesia (Voices of Indonesian Mothers) staged a rally on Friday (March 28) at an intersection on Jalan MH Thamrin in Central Jakarta to demand that authorities end their violence against student protesters during demonstrations across the country against the recent passage of the Indonesian Military (TNI) Law.
While also rejecting the law, the group decried the violence against the protesters, who are mostly students, conducted by police and military, that continues to occur during the demonstrations nationwide.
