The Jakarta Police said on Tuesday that they had freed all protesters detained in chaotic demonstrations against the controversial movie Innocence of Muslims in front of the US Embassy in Jakarta on Monday.

Police also corrected their previous statement saying that they had detained five protesters.

Only NR, DJ, AS and EY were arrested after the demonstration that left 11 police officers and several protesters injured.

Your comments:
Wasn’t a Red Cross worker carrying a pocket knife jailed for three months when all he was doing was helping volcano victims?

Meanwhile, people with weapons caught on film destroying Indonesia are freed?

No one should be surprised that those four people who were caught red-handed carrying slingshots and stones were released. The police and radical groups have long been known to have a hand-in-glove
relationship.
