civil unrest in indonesia have escalated as of the night of aug 30th.
power outage in some areas in combination with nationwide ban on tiktok live is a massive, massive red flag for civilian safety 🚨🚨
there have been reports of law enforcement firing upon civilians.
Protests continue across multiple cities in Indonesia, including Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Medan, and Bandung, after police ran over and killed a motorcycle taxi driver during an anti-gov't demonstration in the capital Jakarta.
GUYS! Nct!
The police took repressive action by shooting unarmed demonstrators. They also deployed armored vehicles and even snipers to intimidate the demonstrators.

📍 Dari Suara Ibu Indonesia di Sarinah siang ini.
Untuk para polisi dan tentara, tolong ingat bahwa ibumu tidak mengajarimu memukul sesama rakyat.
