They also criticized the government’s actions that, apparently, try to interfere with the movements and voices of the citizens against the rejection of the Employment Creation Law.

He added that BEM SI also condemned the repressive actions of the authorities against the masses who took the action.

Not only that, they also invited students from all over Indonesia to join and present their rejection of the Copyright Law, until the Law is repealed and repealed.

In the capital, the protest action was marred by riots. Finally, on Tuesday (10/13/2020) a second wave of demonstrations took place at various points in central Jakarta, namely the Arjuna Wiwaha statue (horse statue), Harmony and the State Palace.

Clashes with joint TNI-Polri agents guarding the demonstration were inevitable.

Demonstrations also took place on October 8 that ended in chaos. The masses set fire to various public facilities, such as Transjakarta bus stops and police posts.

As a result of this incident, the police have assigned 1,377 people to the two demonstrations.
