How Slipi Looks After the Aug 27 DPR Demonstration
Military personnel secure the Slipi flyover on August 28, as Central Jakarta officials mediate with remaining protesters following the DPR rally.
On Friday, August 28, 2026, Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) personnel were on high alert at the Slipi flyover near the DPR/MPR Building in Central Jakarta. The military presence was a response to a demonstration from the previous day, with troops donning full camouflage uniforms and various colored berets, including orange, dark blue, and dark green. Some exchanged messages via handheld transceivers, maintaining a watchful eye over the area.
At around 8:00 a.m., a group of demonstrators remained at the Slipi flyover, refusing to leave. They claimed that some of their fellow protesters were still held in police custody. Central Jakarta Mayor Arifin arrived at the scene to mediate. He explained that the remaining protesters had traveled from outside the capital, with some naming Bogor as their origin.
Arifin requested the names of detained comrades but was only provided with one name. He promised to forward the information to the Central Jakarta Police Chief and the Jakarta Regional Police.
By the time of reporting, the area in front of the Parliament Building was clear of demonstrators, having been thoroughly cleaned.
