Three people have been killed after protesters set fire to a local government building in an Indonesian provincial capital.
The violence in Makassar, the capital city of South Sulawesi province left at least three people dead and five others hospitalized, officials said.
The blaze began on Friday night and television reports showed the provincial council going up in flames as politicians tried desperately to flee.
Rescuers retrieved three bodies on Saturday morning, while five people were hospitalized with burns or with broken bones after jumping from the building, said Fadli Tahar, a local disaster official.
And the violence has spread across the country with mobs in West Java's Bandung city also setting a regional parliament ablaze on Friday although no one was injured.
