Anti-government protests have turned violent in Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, and other major cities. For the second day, hundreds have taken to the streets against cost-of-living-related issues, demanding accountability from authorities. The death of a motorcycle taxi driver – killed after being run over by a police vehicle on Thursday – has intensified the public outrage.
