        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - A group of students from several universities\nheld a demonstration behind the Constitutional Court (MK) building on\nJalan Abdul Muis, Gambir, Central Jakarta, on Wednesday (8\/4\/2026).\nKompas.com observations at the location showed that the crowd began\narriving from 10.30 WIB. They came from the south side of Jalan Abdul\nMuis and headed straight to the back of the MK building. In addition,\nthere were banners featuring an image of KontraS Deputy Coordinator\nAndrie Yunus. After gathering behind the MK building, the crowd lined up\nfor more than six metres while unfurling banners. The arrival of the\nstudent crowd temporarily disrupted traffic flow on Jalan Abdul Muis.\nFour-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles heading south (Tanah Abang,\nCideng) and north (Harmoni, Gajahmada) were congested. Transportation\nsub-district officers and police were deployed to manage the traffic\nbuildup. \u201cThat action is barbaric and clearly violates the law,\u201d stated\nthe orator. Secondly, they demand a fair resolution of the case through\nthe general judicial system, not military courts. \u201cThirdly, we support\nthe Constitutional Court in accepting and granting civil society\u2019s\nlawsuit at the MK regarding the TNI Law,\u201d the orator revealed. Fourthly,\nthey urge the formation of a joint fact-finding team for the Andrie\nYunus case. Fifthly, they request the DPR to seriously oversee the legal\nprocess of Andrie Yunus through general judicial regulations. Sixthly,\nthey demand military reform for professional soldiers; the military must\nreturn to the barracks.<\/p>",
