Police killing sparks Indonesia unrest in first major test for Prabowo presidency

Hundreds of Indonesians took to the streets in Jakarta on Friday to protest the death of a civilian struck by a police vehicle, leading to renewed calls for police reform in Indonesia. The demonstrations shook the capital city, with protests erupting at multiple locations and causing disruptions to daily life. The incident served as a significant challenge for President Prabowo Subianto’s administration, which is facing its first major test since taking office nearly a year ago. The unrest prompted several schools to release students early and businesses to implement work-from-home policies.
