Thousands of students protested outside Jakarta’s parliament, demanding accountability for police violence and a government dialogue. The demonstrations were sparked by the death of a motorbike taxi driver hit by police, fueling wider anger over corruption and lawmakers’ lavish benefits, Reuters reported.

Despite prior meetings with parliament members, students say their calls for reform and an independent investigation remain unaddressed. At least ten people have died and over 1,000 injured since unrest began, drawing criticism of heavy-handed security measures.

Students vow to continue protests until their demands for justice and transparency are met.
