Indonesian Youth Protest Demanding Legal Transparency in Jakarta and South Kalimantan

On August 3, 2026, students and young activists from the Gerakan Aksi Koalisi Masyarakat Sipil gathered outside the East Jakarta District Court, demanding an open and impartial trial in the defamation case involving former minister Roy Suryo and Dr. Tifauzia Tyassuma (Dr. Tifa). They alleged possible interference in the judicial process and erected a tent at the protest site as a symbol of continued public oversight.

In Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, members of the youth organization Abdi Banua Muda staged a peaceful demonstration on Jalan Layang Ahmad Yani, calling for a thorough investigation of alleged corruption in the coal sector. The protesters linked the issue to recent energy crises and urged law‑enforcement agencies and the regional parliament to pursue the case transparently, without political pressure, and to enforce asset‑seizure legislation.
