Rika Panda, Jakarta – Starting from today, Monday June 16, the planned schedule for protest actions or demonstrations by the public in and around Jakarta will no longer be published though the interactive media to the broader public.

According to an official from the Metro Jaya Regional Police Traffic Management Centre, First Inspector Sidik, the schedule is longer allowed to be published because there is a prohibition against publishing it.

“Indeed it is no longer permissible to publish the schedule of demonstrations to the broader public”, he said. It is unclear why it cannot be published.
