Police are prepared for a mass demonstration against the visit of US President Barack Obama to Jakarta today, Jakarta Police chief Insp. Gen. Sutarman says.
“The protesters include members of Hizbut Tahrir and the People’s Bastion of Democracy [Bendera], but they are only allowed to gather 100 meters from the sites to be visited by Obama,” Sutarman said as quoted by Kompas.com on Monday.
“Go ahead and hold demonstrations, but do so appropriately,” he said.
Obama, who once lived in Jakarta during his childhood, is due to begin his state visit to Indonesia on Tuesday, after having canceled his two previous planned visits this year.
With his tight schedule, Obama is due to leave again on Wednesday for the G20 summit in South Korea
