Students protesting in the city of Padang, Indonesia attacked photos of President Joko Widodo.

The attacks were caught on camera during a demonstration at the West Sumatra Provincial House of Representatives (DPRD) on September 25.

President Widodo's photo in the DPRD's courtroom was pelted with hard objects and was hit with a stick. This action received a standing ovation from other students.
