Indonesia protesters burn government building; 3 die

|August 31, 2025
Protesters set fire to a local parliament building in an Indonesian provincial capital, leaving at least three people dead and five others hospitalized, officials said, capping a week of escalating nationwide antigovernment demonstrations.
POLICE FORM a defensive line Saturday in front of the House of Representatives in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The parliament building fire in Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi province, began late Friday. Television reports showed the provincial council building ablaze overnight, casting an orange glow over the city.
Rescuers retrieved three bodies by Saturday morning, while five people were hospitalized with burns or broken bones after jumping from the building, said Fadli Tahar, a local disaster official.
Daily protests last week over a report on lawmakers' compensation, which many deem excessive, have intensified since the death of a bystander, apparently at the hands of security forces, at a rally in the capital Thursday.
Protesters in West Java's Bandung city also set a regional parliament ablaze Friday, but no casualties were reported. In Surabaya, Indonesia's second-largest city, protesters stormed the regional police headquarters after destroying fences and torching vehicles.
Security forces fired tear gas and used water cannons, and demonstrators fought back with fireworks and wooden clubs.
