What's circulating on WA right now is a call for protest starting Tuesday night until Wednesday morning. "buka puasa bersama" followed with "sahur on the road".

Also saw some calls for protests on Friday following the Friday prayer.

The current plan is to start today (Tuesday) and gather at 2 PM on Thamrin.

If no results or replies on their requests they want to continue tonight after breaking the fast.

With all these change of plans and WA’s floating around the whole thing becomes more and more chaotic.

In the mean time busses from afar are being stopped, searched and sent back.

Could be an attempt at a 'False Flag' operation where they bomb their own rally and blame it on the opposition to justify their continuance and also their own violent 'responses'.
Personally, I doubt they would try it, or maybe that's just my hopeful thinking.

I doubt that they are that sophisticated.

Another theory would be the government trying to scare people into not joining the demonstrations because of a made-up "bomb threat". I hope that's the case.

Apparently most of them are around KPU.

If you bomb your own rally then of course the other side is blamed. So Joko not only stole the election he is also bombing the people. Enough to get any crowd hopping mad. If there really is a huge rally then it bodes ill for Indonesia. Let's hope it is a fizzle.

Seems like a tiny crowd? I mean they have like 20k police/troops there for this...

 

[jstar]

Perhaps all journalists and disaster tourists and shoppers? ?

I read somewhere the police does not agree with a full night presence and demands it to be finished at 7 PM today.

There are rumors that the Soenarko arrest might be exactly that.

The plan to have people attacked with army weapons and blame the armed forces.

Well, at least the French and Spanish are pro-active towards their citizens.

Did not see anything from others yet.
