Jakarta – Students from universities of whole Jakarta-Bogor-Tangerang and Bekasi (Jabotabek) all at once held a peaceful demonstration in 30 campuses. Besides holding a free speech forum in each of their campuses a part of them went down to the road to merge with the actions which took place at the surrounding campuses.
Either the security apparatuses and the students could control themselves so that no clash happened. The guarding was not conspicuous eventhough a small troop of anti riot troops were on the alert. At the Salemba Campus of the University of Indonesia students from the Universitas Kristen Indonesia with their blue jackets merged with about 100 students in yellow jackets. About 2000 students participated in the demonstration with representatives from various other universities. The big family of the UI said that the existing political and legal system presently could not articulate the people's aspirations. Therefore a clear attitude ot the House of Representative (DPR) members was needed towards the aspirations of the people for political, economic and legal reform in a comprehensive way. The DPR should submit a memorandum to the President to perform that comprehensive reformation. A person threw a bottle to the UKI students and was beaten by the students before the Senate of the students, took care of him,
Two units of company level were mobilized to watch the demonstrators. The police gave the impression to be more cooperative. A lieutenant said. "We wanted the best. We also don't want force. That is the order from above."
