Rioters attacked a government building during unrest in Indonesia, as nationwide protests escalated over corruption allegations and a fatal police incident.

Footage shows chaotic scenes as protesters, including students and angry gig workers, stormed the headquarters of the Indonesian National Police in South Jakarta on August 30.

The clashes were triggered by the death of Affan Kurniawan, a 21-year-old delivery rider, who was fatally struck by a police riot truck during a demonstration last Thursday night.

Witnesses said a police tactical truck, speeding down the highway with sirens and lights activated, collided with Affan after he stumbled while running ahead of the crowd.

In Makassar, protesters stormed into the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) office and set the government building ablaze.

Officials confirmed that at least three council staff members were trapped inside the building and killed as the flames spread uncontrollably.

Public outrage erupted amid claims that 580 members of the House of Representatives have been receiving a monthly housing allowance of 50 million rupiah (approximately 2,270 GBP) since September 2024 - nearly ten times the city's minimum wage.

Activists are calling for an end to what they describe as excessive perks given to lawmakers in addition to their regular salaries.

As of Sunday, the wave of demonstrations had spread to multiple regions across Indonesia, with at least six reported deaths linked to the unrest.
