Police in the Indonesian capital Jakarta have detained over 300 people for questioning and named dozens of suspects following street protests that had turned ​into late-night rioting, officials said on Friday. Demonstrations by various groups started on Thursday morning near ‌parliament amid heavy security on the anniversary of deadly anti-government protests last year, which lasted two weeks and gave an early test to the administration of President Prabowo Subianto. Thousands of police were deployed in Jakarta ahead of Thursday’s rallies, ​where demonstrators vented their frustration at various government policies and demanded harsher punishment for ​corrupt officials. The rally dispersed Thursday evening, but local media outlets reported individuals in ⁠black shirts remained on the streets long after, setting fire to a police post and two motorcycles, ​closing roads and hurling rocks and sticks at police, who responded with water cannon and tear gas. A ​Reuters witness heard several loud bangs near the area of the reported unrest.
