Thousands of protesters in Indonesia attempted to storm the parliament building in Jakarta on Thursday, leading to a delay in a crucial vote on election law amendments. The proposed changes could potentially increase the political influence of outgoing President Joko Widodo.
The protesters tore down a section of the parliament's fence, hurled stones at police officers, and set fires, causing chaos in the capital city. The parliament had convened for an emergency session to address a decision by the Constitutional Court regarding election procedures.
