Thousands protested outside Indonesia’s parliament in Jakarta, calling for tougher punishment for corrupt officials and passage of a long-stalled bill allowing the state to seize assets linked to corruption. Police deployed 18,500 officers and detained 65 suspected “provocateurs” before the march. After dark, some protesters threw objects, prompting tear gas and water cannon use.
