The woman was arrested by the police over her video post, which she had created in response to a driver’s death during a protest in Jakarta
An Indonesian staff member of an Asean parliamentary body has been fired and named a criminal suspect after allegedly posting a video urging protesters to set fire to the national police headquarters in Jakarta, amid escalating unrest triggered by a fatal accident involving a police armoured vehicle.
Laras Faizati Khairunnisa, 26, was arrested on Monday and detained a day later following a police investigation into her social media post, which authorities said had incited demonstrators to burn the building, located in South Jakarta.
Her video was posted on Sunday during unrest sparked by the death of a motorcycle‑taxi driver, who was run over by the police vehicle during a demonstration on August 28 against Indonesian parliamentarians’ generous housing allowances and soaring living costs.
