Hotel Sultan Execution Succeeds, Evacuation Process Underway

The Central Jakarta District Court, supported by joint TNI-Polri security forces, successfully carried out the execution process for the Hotel Sultan land located in the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) area, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (18/06).

Chandra M. Hamzah, legal counsel for the Gelora Bung Karno Complex Management Centre (PPKGBK), stated that the process of vacating the hotel is currently underway.

“Today, 18 June 2026, the Central Jakarta District Court has implemented the execution of eviction and real execution, following the determination by the Central Jakarta District Court regarding the area known as Block 15, the former Hotel Sultan site,” Chandra told reporters at the location on Thursday afternoon.

“The execution and the subsequent clearing process are happening at this very moment. Officials from the Central Jakarta District Court are present, assisted by Police and other security apparatus,” he added.

Chandra explained that once the clearing process is complete, his party will coordinate with relevant stakeholders regarding follow-up plans. This includes decisions regarding the utilisation of items and assets remaining within the Hotel Sultan.

“We will coordinate with ministries and the government. However, as these are state-owned assets, their utilisation must comply with the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK). We will adhere to the PMK regarding the management of state-owned property,” he said.

Regarding the rights to Block 15 of the GBK area, Chandra reaffirmed that the government has never released, sold, or transferred the rights to this land to any party, including Indobuildco.

“There has never been a transfer of rights. Therefore, if Indobuildco or the relevant parties claim to have obtained land rights, they should be questioned directly. Is there a sale and purchase deed? Is there a deed of release of rights? Is there a deed of gift? Is there a deed of inheritance? They should be asked to provide proof,” he remarked.

To facilitate the execution process, security and escort reinforcements were deployed, involving 3,161 personnel from the TNI, Polri, and local government agencies.

The process was briefly marked by unrest, as protesters resisting the execution attempted to throw objects at the executors and the security lines. However, the resistance was successfully suppressed.

To date, a total of 69 individuals have been detained by the police following the disturbances.
