INDONESIA-PROTEST-POLITICS

A demonstrator carries Indonesia's national flag and a pirate flag from the Japanese anime 'One Piece' an internet trend used to criticise government policies, during a protest against the Mobile Brigade Corps or 'Brimob', after the death of a motorbike taxi driver the previous night, in front of the governor's residence in Surabaya on August 29, 2025. Indonesian police fired tear gas on August 29 at hundreds of protesters rallying in the capital over the death of a motorcycle taxi driver, hours after the country's president promised to investigate the incident. Clashes between protesters and police broke out on August 28 over calls for higher wages and perceived lavish perks for lawmakers, as public discontent grows over the government's handling of the economy.
