Police Claim to Respect the Right to Demonstrate, Arrangements are Situational
The police stated that traffic management during the demonstration will be conducted situationally, depending on the escalation of the crowd size in the field. This means that traffic flow engineering and security point adjustments may change according to the development of the demonstration. According to the authorities, this step is necessary to ensure that the public's right to demonstrate is protected without neglecting broader public interests, especially road users and residents who are active in the city center.
The police statement emphasizing a non-firearm approach and humane security also demonstrates the authorities' efforts to maintain sensitivity in handling mass actions, especially in the context of student and civil society demonstrations that often attract public attention. Thus, the focus of security this time is not only on preventing security disturbances, but also on creating an orderly demonstration space that does not trigger clashes between officers and the masses.
Overall, the deployment of 1,436 personnel marks the seriousness of the authorities in anticipating the dynamics of actions in the DPR and Monas areas today. The public is now waiting to see how the demonstration unfolds in the field, including whether the claimed humane security is truly implemented consistently and whether the aspirations of the masses can be conveyed without causing significant disruption to public order.
