Gatot said during a meeting with representatives of the human rights group at the Jakarta Police headquarters in South Jakarta on Tuesday that the results of Amnesty's internal investigation found that personnel from the police’s Mobile Brigade (Brimob) allegedly assaulted 12 people in three different locations in the capital during the riots.

On May 21 and 22, riots broke out when thousands of supporters of losing presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto took to the streets to challenge the official result of the election.

At least nine civilians were killed in the two-day-riots, all of whom the police said were rioters. Four of them died from bullets, though the police denied any involvement in the deaths.

Separately, the police have continued to face criticism for alleged police brutality captured on video footage that went viral.

The footage, taken in Kampung Bali, Central Jakarta, shows a group of people – allegedly security personnel – dressed in antiriot attire beating an unarmed man in a parking lot in Kampung Bali.

According to a press statement from Amnesty International Indonesia, the police chief was committed to settling in the criminal court all cases in which violence was allegedly committed by police personnel.
