AT LEAST 20 people are missing after violent Indonesia protests sparked by lavish perks for lawmakers that have widened to include anger against police, a rights group said this week.
-
At least six people have been killed since protests rocked Southeast Asia's biggest economy last week, intensified by spreading footage of the killing of a young delivery driver by a paramilitary police unit.
"As of September 1, there were 23 reports of missing persons. After the search and verification process, 20 missing persons remain unfound," the Commission for the Disappeared and Victims of Violence (KontraS) said in a statement.
The group said the 20 were reported missing in the cities of Bandung and Depok on Java island, and the administrative cities of Central Jakarta, East | Jakarta and North Jakarta that make up the wider capital city.
One incident took place in an "unknown location", it said.
The National Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
