Dozens of university students clashed with the police in Yogyakarta on Saturday afternoon during a protest against the law on education system’s legal body.

The protesters who called themselves the National Student Front (FMN) tossed stones and other stuff at the police officers who were trying to stop the rally because it did not have a permit.

Two students and a reporter were injured and later hospitalized as a result of the riot with the police.

As of the writing of this story, the police have managed to isolate the protesters in front of the Sunan Kalijaga Islamic University on Jl Laksda Adisutjipto, but still could not force them to dissolve. (and)
