Approximately 3,093 police personnel have been deployed by the Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) to secure the planned demonstration at the Indonesian National Police Headquarters (Mabes Polri) in South Jakarta.
Description:
According to reports, the Student Executive Board of the University of Indonesia (BEM UI), alongside a broader civil society coalition, has planned a protest at the Indonesian National Police Headquarters (Mabes Polri) in South Jakarta on Friday (27 February).
Around 400 participants are expected, departing from the UI Depok campus at 1300 WIB and converging at Mabes Polri around 1500 WIB.
Background:
The action was a collective response to a series of violent incidents involving security forces in recent times. The protesters’ primary agenda was to demand police accountability for alleged repressive actions and the incident that resulted in the death of a 14-year-old child in Tual, North Maluku.
Impact:
Traffic congestion is likely around Trunojoyo Street and surrounding South Jakarta corridors during peak afternoon hours. Heightened security presence may affect office access, commercial activities, and deliveries in the vicinity. Additional personnel are likely to be deployed to maintain the law and order situation.
Recommendations:
• It is advised for businesses to adjust employee work hours while rerouting logistics and last-mile deliveries.
• Avoid politically sensitive messaging and monitor official traffic advisories. Ensure business continuity planning for possible short-term disruptions.
• Public should avoid protest zones if unnecessary and follow official directions.
