JAKARTA: Indonesian students and civil society groups called off protests in Jakarta on Monday 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.
