Director of the Lokataru Foundation, Delpedro Marhaen, was arrested by the police and allegedly assaulted during a demonstration rejecting the Pilkada Bill at the DPR Building, Senayan, Jakarta, which turned chaotic on Thursday (22/8).

Lokataru founder Haris Azhar confirmed the information. "That's right," said Haris when contacted, Friday (23/8). He allowed Kumparan to quote information conveyed via the Lokataru Foundation Instagram. Previously, Delpedro Marhaen's whereabouts were previously unknown after being arrested. The latest information is that Delpedro Marhaen is at Polda Metro Jaya and is in the process of being assisted by the Advocacy Team for Democracy (TAUD). "Delpedro Marhaen has been taken to Polda Metro Jaya and is in the process of being assisted by the Advocacy Team for Democracy (TAUD), even though he was previously blocked when he was about to provide legal assistance," quoted from Instagram @lokataru_foundation.

The Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI) provided a report on the demonstrators who were arrested after the demonstration to reject the Pilkada Bill on Thursday (22/8).

"From the total complaints received by the Democracy Advocacy Team call center, as of 11.00 WIB, there have been 51 complaints. At the West Jakarta Police and Tanjung Duren Police, we found 39 people who were arrested and questioned," said YLBHI Deputy Chairperson of Advocacy Arif Maulana in a press conference attended online, Friday (23/8). But they also received reports from a number of networks and government agencies such as the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI). A total of 105 people, including children, were processed at the West Jakarta Police and Tanjung Duren Police.

However, this data has not been confirmed because there has been no explanation from the police. "There are 105 people, consisting of 27 adults and 78 children, being processed at the West Jakarta Police Resort and 3 people who are still children at the Tanjung Duren Police," explained Arif.
