Three Protest Points in Jakarta Today: Beware of Traffic Jams from Gambir to Senayan

JAKARTA — Three demonstrations are scheduled to take place in Central Jakarta on Wednesday (22/4/2026). Police are deploying hundreds of personnel for security and preparing situational traffic engineering around the protest sites.

Central Jakarta Metro Police Public Relations Officer Iptu Erlyn Sumantri stated that the three demonstrations are set to begin at 10:00 WIB.

“The first protest is from Barikade Rakyat Cinta TNI and several other mass elements, located south of the Monas area in Gambir,” Erlyn said in a written statement on Wednesday.

The second demonstration will be held by masses from HIMMAH Legal Movement Law Firm, DPP Garansi, and Aliansi Mahasiswa dan Pemuda Peduli Hukum in front of the DPR/MPR Building in Senayan.

A total of 537 combined police personnel will be deployed for security during the demonstrations in Central Jakarta on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, traffic engineering at the protest points will be carried out situationally, taking into account the number of people on the ground.

Erlyn advised the public to avoid areas around the protest sites to anticipate traffic jams.

“Residents can seek other alternative routes during the protests,” Erlyn said.
