Student groups in Indonesia complained of a “brutal attack” by police against two universities in Bandung on Monday, where students were demonstrating against government corruption as part of a growing nationwide movement. The protests began outside the parliament building in Indonesia’s capital city of Jakarta on August 25. The protesters were angered by reports of a $3,000 monthly housing allowance for lawmakers.
