Indonesia in Chaos: Deadly Protests Erupt Over Inequality & Police Brutality

Deadly protests have erupted across Indonesia, leaving at least eight dead and 20 missing as anger over inequality and police brutality spirals nationwide. The unrest began in Jakarta on August 25 over soaring living costs and outrage at lawmakers’ housing allowances, nearly ten times the city’s minimum wage. Tensions exploded after 21-year-old food-delivery rider Affan Kurniawan was fatally run over by a police vehicle during clashes. Buildings have been torched, officials’ homes looted, and violence has spread to multiple cities despite government apologies and security crackdowns.
