The Jakarta Post

Thousands of university students from across Indonesia have once again taken to the streets in a series of protests against what they perceive to be attempts by the government and the legislature to roll back democracy.

In the capital, students from various universities, both from within and outside the capital, gathered in front of the House of Representatives compound in Central Jakarta at 1 p.m. on Tuesday to demand that lawmakers halt the passage of a number of controversial bills, including a revision of the Criminal Code (KUHP).

The students thronged in front of the House gates on Jl. Gatot Subroto carrying protest banners and posters with messages calling for the state to be committed to continuing decades-old efforts for political reform.
