Tensions have soared in Indonesia as protests continue in multiple cities, a day after the death of a motorcycle taxi driver hit by a police vehicle during a demonstration over a range of cost-of-living issues.
Protesters marched to the headquarters of the police mobile brigade in the capital Jakarta on Friday, and some attempted to storm the compound. Police used water canons and fired rounds of tear gas to push back the demonstrators, who hurled bottles, rocks and flares at them.
