Students in Indonesia protest security incidents and call for peace

Students across Indonesia are calling for stability and the protection of civil rights following recent incidents of unrest. In the Jabodetabek region, university students have issued a statement rejecting provocations ahead of Heroes Day on November 10. They emphasized that the rule of law must prevail regardless of status and expressed support for the Indonesian National Police (Polri) when acting as partners to the community and maintaining democratic order.

In Aceh, students held a demonstration in front of the Aceh Regional House of Representatives (DPRA) to condemn the shooting of civilians in Tiro, Pidie Regency. Protesters demanded that security forces, including the TNI and police, stop treating Aceh as a conflict zone. They urged authorities to investigate those responsible for inciting unrest, such as the unauthorized raising of flags, rather than using intimidation or violence against local citizens.
