At least 20 people are missing after violent protests that have rocked Indonesia since last week, a local human rights organization said today.
"After searches and checks, 20 people are still missing," the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS) announced.
The protests initially began on August 25th to protest compensation paid to members of parliament. The protests intensified after the death of a motorcycle taxi driver in Jakarta on Thursday after he was run over by a police van.
Six people died in these gatherings.
KontraS said 20 people were missing in the cities of Bandung, Jakarta and Depok, a city near the capital.
Several thousand people protested again on Monday in several Indonesian cities, and the army was deployed on the streets of Jakarta.
Demonstrations are expected to continue throughout the day across the country.
The United Nations on Monday called for a prompt, thorough and transparent investigation into the deaths of six protesters during rallies that were violently suppressed by security forces.
