CIKARANG, WEST JAVA - A brawl between striking workers and paramilitary youth organization Pemuda Pancasila left eight people injured and 18 motorcycles destroyed in South Cikarang on Thursday morning.
“This morning, at 8:15 a.m., there was a clash between workers and Pemuda Pancasila, who did not like the rally,” said Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Cmr. Rikwanto. “Eight persons were injured, hit by stones or stabbed. Four workers and four security guards were injured.”
Pemuda Pancasila is known for thuggish behavior. In September, members of the organization attacked the Depok District Court in West Java. According to Rikwanto, the clash involved 15,000 workers and 500 members of Pemuda Pancasila, who claimed that the strike would affect their livelihoods and the investment climate in Indonesia.
Despite police denials, rumors spread throughout the day via social media that several people had died in the clash. “Concerning news about some workers who were killed - it’s not true,” said Rikwanto. “It’s a hoax.” The local hospital confirmed Rikwanto’s account.
“Nobody died, but many people were injured,” an emergency unit official at Hosana Medika Hospital in Cikarang told the Jakarta Globe. She would not say how many people were admitted to the hospital after the clash.
