Last night, rights group Kontras posted on IG CCTV footage showing civilians running from tear gas fired by police on the street outside its office. Police have been indiscriminately using tear gas in residential areas during days-long protests in Jakarta.

As predicted the Indonesian punk band Sukatani's banned song "Bayar Bayar Bayar" (Pay Pay Pay), which mocks corrupt police, became the theme song of students-led protests across the country.
One of the many videos I saw today

The Streisand effect:
The hashtag #KamiBersamaSukatani (We Are With Sukatani) has gone viral
The song became a soundtrack of today's weekly human rights protest Aksi Kamisan in front of the presidential palace.

The Streisand effect... Indonesian punk duo Sukatani was forced to reveal their identity and pull their song "Bayar Bayar Bayar" (Pay Pay Pay), which mocks the country's corrupt police, from all streaming platforms. The song is now viral on social media.
