Indonesia heightens security for protest anniversary
Indonesia today enhanced security measures around the Parliament building in Jakarta and other major cities, as protesters gathered in memorial marches commemorating the violent protests the country experienced a year ago. The protests, which began in August of last year, resulted in the deaths of 10 people and the arrest of approximately 7,000. Today’s demonstrators are demanding tougher measures against corruption and criticizing the government's spending priorities. The government is facing declining approval ratings, with President Joko Widodo's popularity dropping to 38%, amid popular and economic pressures caused by policy-related issues.
