TW//MURDER AND POLICE BRUTALITY
INTERNATIONAL MUTUALS WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
last night (28/8/2025) in indonesia during a protest, an ojol (motorcycle taxi) driver got ran over by a police truck that was trying to escape and was killed, and the police and the government are trying to silence us from speaking up about it.
we are trying to get international eyes on this, as local tv stations are not being allowed to report it. as usual, the indonesian government are trying to coax us into forgiving them with a bunch of disingenuous apology videos and a slap on the wrist for the perpetrators, but we will not let them go that easily this time.
and so to put pressure on them, we'd like international news stations to report on this. trying to get them to listen to us "normal" civilians will be a difficult and strenuous effort, but if we get CNN or something on this then that might be a quicker way to get them to back down.
if youve got twitter, please retweet this https://x.com/ezash/status/1961068893985800511 as it's one of the many video proof of the incident or this https://x.com/pporapippamm/status/1961070289829449770 as a concise summary of what happened, and maybe any other tweets u might see abt this issue. otherwise if you can, please help spread the message; even word of mouth might help.
edit: if u have time to watch a 4 minute video, this one is in english and explains what's been happening https://x.com/wannabewhisper/status/1961308260763406449
the driver who was murdered by the police is AFFAN KURNIAWAN and he was only 21 YEARS OLD; the breadwinner of his family. he wasn't even participating in the protest. he was delivering food.
there were many other victims and cases too, including forms of human right violations (medics in jakarta being sprayed by tear gas and an ambulance driver in solo getting beaten up) but so far this has been the biggest case, and we're trying to get the attention of international media to blow it up and show how fucked up the govt is here at this point.
sorry if im not making a lot of sense rn im super tired and still really angry
