Death of Jakarta delivery rider: Prabowo urges calm, orders probe; students vow more protests

[70secs]

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has called for calm after the death of a delivery rider at a protest sparked outrage. In a recorded video shared with the press, Mr Prabowo also asked people to remain calm after the protest on Aug 28 and to continue trusting the government.

Thousands of demonstrators hurled stones and set off firecrackers in Jakarta’s second major protest this week, fuelled by increasing public anger over a hefty allowance for lawmakers.

Police responded to the rally at the parliament complex with tear gas and water cannons in an attempt to disperse the crowds, which consisted mainly of students. By late afternoon, clashes has spread to a nearby shopping district, where they hurled sharpened bamboo sticks and rocks at the police.

“Parliament must be dissolved. Do not retreat. Our fight is not over,” a protester shouted at the crowd.
