Jakarta – The Indonesian Women's Alliance (API) held a peaceful demonstration in front of the House of Representatives (DPR) building in Central Jakarta on Wednesday September 3. According to CNN Indonesia's monitoring, they held a demonstration right in front of the main gate to the parliament complex.

The protesters wore uniform pink clothing. Numerous groups were also seen distributing free food and drinks to protesters. There were around a hundred protesters who were present at the location, which was dominated by women.

Jakarta – The wave of demonstrations in Jakarta and several other regions over the past week has formulated a number of demands to the government regarding improvements in bureaucratic governance and law enforcement.

Initially, a protest action was held by students in front of the parliament complex on August 25. The demonstration turned violent after police forcibly dispersed the students' action at around 2 pm.

Jakarta – The Civil Society Coalition and the Indonesian Academic Alliance of Concern have responded to a speech by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto regarding the situation that has triggered large demonstrations in a number of regions since last week.

In a press release, the Indonesian Civil Society Coalition said that Prabowo's statements when he was accompanied by political party leaders last weekend still did not touched the issues that triggered the public's anger resulting in demonstrations occurring all over the country.

The Indonesian Civil Society Coalition wishes to convey several things:

1. President Prabowo Subianto and the leaders of political parties have failed to understand or respond appropriately to the socio-political and economic dynamics which led to public anger lately through demonstrations in various regions. This is not just a matter of statements by House of Representatives (DPR) members who do not show any empathy with the people's suffering due to policies that are not pro-people, so the only solution offered was to deactivate members of the DPR from various parties.
