The Police and TNI will take a persuasive and humanist approach. They are prohibited from carrying firearms.

The police also urged the demonstrators to maintain order. And not to commit anarchic acts.

"Please express your opinions, but remain within the corridors of law and order. We are here to ensure everything runs safely and conducively," he continued.

On the other hand, the police asked motorcyclists and car drivers to avoid the road in front of the DPR RI building.
