JAKARTA - Indonesian police fired tear gas to break up a rally near parliament on Monday, as several thousand protesters gathered to oppose a new law that critics say undermines the anti-graft agency, and a criminal code that would ban sex outside marriage,
Lawmakers had rushed to finish debate on a number of bills in their final days in session, including passing into law a bill governing the anti-corruption agency, known as the KPK, which activists say hurts its capacity to fight graft. In another location, police also shot tear gas at protesters who then ran towards a commuter rail line to avoid the gas, forcing the closure of a station, according to a video carried by news portal Detik.com.
Student protesters have been using social media to coordinate their actions, including to raise money on a crowdfunding platform.
