JAKARTA - Calm returned to the streets of central Jakarta on Thursday after a second night of clashes between security forces and protesters angry over the outcome of last month’s election, which handed Indonesian President Joko Widodo a second term.
However, their numbers thinned as the night wore on and police spokesman Dedi Praseyto said the last remaining protesters had dispersed by 7 a.m. . The unrest followed an announcement by the General Election Commission confirming that Widodo had beaten his challenger, former general Prabowo Subianto, in the April 17 poll.
Medics were seen treating dozens of protesters affected by tear gas and using oxygen to revive some who had passed out. Probowo, in a video posted on his Twitter account before midnight on Wednesday, urged his supporters to leave peacefully.Prabowo’s political party, Gerindra, complained that the authorities were trying to pin blame for the riots on him.
Islamist groups have been able to mobilize mass support in the past. They organized a series of massive protests from late 2016 against then-Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, the first ethnic-Chinese Christian to hold the job, who was subsequently jailed for insulting the Koran.
