The Indonesia Police shoots tear gas and rubber bullets against students’ protest

The Indonesian police shot bullets for tear gas and rubber against protesters near two universities in the city of Bandung, reported groups of students and authorities on Tuesday, increasing concern for the disorders in which 10 people were killed since last week.

The protests began in the capital Jakarta, targeting public spending, such as the increase in the advantages of parliamentarians, and since then they have spread throughout the country. They became riots and looting, causing millions of dollars in the capital after a police vehicle hit and killed a motorcycle driver.

For a long time, university students were seen as the avant -garde of Indonesian democracy, having assumed a leadership role in the protests that overturned the authoritarian president Suharto in 1998.

The Bandung accident was the first case in which the police fired the demonstrators on university campuses or neighbors during the current protests, with previous clashes inside and around government buildings and authority residences.

President Prabowo Subiananto warned on Monday that the police and the military would remain stopped against violent climbing.

Police agent Hendra Rochmawan said that police officers did not enter the campus of the Islamic University of Bandung, or Unisba, and the nearby Pasundan University, over 140 km from Jakarta, on Monday evening, but tried to disperse the crowd of “non -stipid demonstrators around the structures.

Unisba’s student body accused the security forces of having tried to silence the dissent, saying that they “brutally attached” the campus. Pasundan students have shared a similar account on social media.

“We believe that the campus are no longer sure for students,” Raviv Alsaid, head of the University of the University of the University, told Reuters Raviv Alsaid.
