Surabaya Police Deploy 300 Officers Amid PSHT Protest

Surabaya PSHT protest debt collector police deployment

Polrestabes Surabaya mobilised roughly 300 officers, including water‑cannon vehicles, to guard a peaceful demonstration organised by the martial‑arts group Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate (PSHT) on Jalan Teuku Umar. Protestors, numbering several thousand, attempted to breach police barricades on Jalan Kartini, throwing bottles and stones, but officers kept the crowd from entering the street.

The rally was sparked by PSHT’s demand that all debt‑collector members implicated in a recent stabbing be arrested; police have already detained some suspects while one remains at large. PSHT leader Bondan warned that if the remaining perpetrator is not captured, the group will “blacken” Surabaya and could mobilise up to 10,000 members for a larger action. Police emphasized a persuasive, non‑violent approach while maintaining a firm security perimeter.
