Moksa Hutasoit, Jakarta – As many as three public demonstrations will accompany the activities of Jakarta residents today. Two among them will be silent protests.

Based on data from the Metro Jaya Regional Police Traffic Management Centre for Friday June 5, the Hotel Indonesia roundabout in Central Jakarta will be the main objective for the protest actions.

At 9am, the Pancasila University Faculty of Law Community of Students Senate will hold a silent protest at the Hotel Indonesia roundabout.

At 4pm, an organisation calling itself Indonesia Goes Green will also hold a silent protest at the same location.

Employees form the Blue Bird Indonesia Employees Union will also hold an action at the Hotel Indonesia roundabout at 9am. However they will not just be protesting there. Later they will head off to the PT Jamsostek (workers insurance scheme) office, the Department of Labour and Transmigration and finally at the Blue Bird Taxi central office.

It is not yet known how many demonstrators will be joining the individual actions, although it would be advisable to avoid the areas were protests are taking place. (mok/amd)
