Published
A number of students together with civil society groups are reportedly set to stage a demonstration on 28 October, coinciding with the commemoration of Youth Pledge Day. The action is directed at the government of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
Youth Pledge Day is commemorated every year to remember the Youth Pledge of 28 October 1928. At that historic event, young people from various regions in Indonesia declared one homeland, one nation, and one language, namely Indonesia. For this reason, the date is often chosen by young people to voice their aspirations.
In reports, the planned demonstration is described as a form of expressing opinions by students and civil groups. The organizers stated that the action will be carried out peacefully. Complete information regarding the demands, location, and number of participants has not been explained in detail in the available reports.
Freedom of expression in public is guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and is further regulated in Law Number 9 of 1998. The public is advised to keep following news from trusted sources in order to obtain accurate information about the action.
