Indonesia Protests Escalate; President Subianto Vows Action, Cancels China Visit | Spotlight | N18G

Indonesia Protests: The Southeast Asian nation remains gripped by its fiercest political crisis in years as protests over lavish parliamentary perks spiral into deadly nationwide unrest. What began as peaceful demonstrations last week turned violent after footage showed paramilitary police running over a young delivery driver, triggering outrage. At least six people have been killed, with violence spreading beyond Jakarta to cities including Makassar, Palembang, Yogyakarta, and Banjarmasin. Protesters torched government buildings, looted lawmakers’ homes, and clashed with security forces patrolling the capital. Social media platform TikTok suspended live streaming in Indonesia to curb misinformation. President Prabowo Subianto, facing the biggest test of his one-year-old government, has vowed firm action against rioters.
