Indonesian police say they arrested at least 20 people accused of provoking riots in capital Jakarta over election results
Indonesian police have arrested at least 20 people accused of provoking riots in Jakarta following official results showing President Joko Widodo had been re-elected, a police spokesman said on Wednesday.
The General Election Commission on Tuesday confirmed unofficial counts by private pollsters in the April 17 election, which gave Widodo a 55.5 percent share of votes against 44.5 percent for his opponent, former general Prabowo Subianto. Protests that started peacefully on Tuesday turned violent in the evening, forcing police to fire tear gas to disperse the crowd in a main street in the capital, TV footage showed. Cars parked near an apartment housing the police's mobile brigade were set ablaze, media reported.
News website Tirto reported a man died of bullet wounds in Tanah Abang, quoting a doctor at a hospital near the site. A man looks at a car that was set on fire by protesters at Brimob Dormitory Complex, Petamburan, Jakarta, Indonesia, May 22, 2019 Prabowo had warned the cheating claims could trigger "people power"-style protests, though ahead of the result he had urged supporters in a video to be "peaceful in our struggle".
