At least 20 people are missing after violent protests, sparked by lavish perks for Indonesian lawmakers that have widened to include anger against police, a rights group said on Tuesday.

At least six people have been killed since protests rocked Southeast Asia's biggest economy last week, intensified by footage spreading of the killing of a young delivery driver by a paramilitary police unit.

The unrest emerged in cities across Indonesia, forcing President Prabowo Subianto into a U-turn on the lawmaker perks after the worst protests since the ex-general took power last year.

The Commission for the Disappeared and Victims of Violence (KontraS) said 23 reports of missing persons had been received by Monday.
