Anti-government protests in Indonesia have turned violent after police killed a 21-year-old delivery driver. The protests began in the capital city of Jakarta, sparked by outrage over politicians’ pay. They have now spread across the country, resulting in at least seven deaths and more than 1,200 arrests. In today’s podcast, we’ll explain what sparked these protests, and what the Indonesian government plans to do next.
