Photos: Deadly Post-Election Riots in Indonesia (25 photos)
Yesterday, in Jakarta, after it was announced that incumbent President Joko Widodo was re-elected as president of Indonesia, beating former general Prabowo Subianto by 11 percentage points, Subianto’s supporters took to the streets. Protesters made claims of widespread cheating, and clashed with riot police in several locations in Jakarta, setting fire to vehicles and buildings. Police reportedly responded with tear gas and rubber bullets, arresting hundreds. After 24 hours of chaos, six people were reported to have died in the protests—the cause of their deaths under investigation—and more than 200 were listed as injured. Subianto says he plans to contest the election results in court.
