Indonesian protests postponed due to fears of crackdown, unsettling financial markets, and escalating violence nationwide.
Indonesian students and civil society groups called off protests in Jakarta on Monday (September 1, 2025) after a week of escalating anger over lawmakers' pay and the police response, citing fears of heightened security measures after deadly riots across the country on the weekend.
The protests began a week ago, and have spread nationwide, escalating in size and intensity after a police vehicle hit and killed a motorcycle taxi driver on Thursday night.
