Indonesia: Muslim group PA 212 plans to demonstrate at Arjuna Wijaya Horse Statue in Jakarta from 13:00 March 20

Event

The Muslim group Alumni Brotherhood (PA) 212 plans to demonstrate at the Arjuna Wijaya Horse Statue in Jakarta from 13:00 March 20. The purpose of the action is to denounce the participation of the Israeli football team in the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup hosted by Indonesia. Protesters could march toward the State Palace. Hundreds of people could participate in the gathering.

Heightened security measures, including roadblocks and cordons, are likely at the Arjuna Wijaya Horse Statue, National Monument, and the surrounding areas the afternoon of March 20. Localized traffic and business disruptions are possible during the action, especially if activists occupy nearby roads. Clashes may occur if officials forcibly disperse the demonstrators.

Advice

Avoid the protest site March 20 due to possible clashes. Plan for possible localized traffic and business disruptions. If violence occurs nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a safe nongovernmental building. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
