AFP, JAKARTAAt least six people were killed yesterday as Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, erupted in violence when police clashed with protesters opposed to the re-election of Indonesian President Joko Widodo. “Some had gunshot wounds, some blunt force wounds, but we still need to clarify this,” he said. The morning clashes started after several thousand Subianto supporters on Tuesday rallied peacefully near the elections commission office in central Jakarta. Election officials and analysts have discounted Subianto’s claims, but many supporters appeared convinced of rampant cheating in the world’s third-biggest democracy. “I need to support Indonesia’s sovereignty — there has been massive fraud in this election,” said Puji Astuti, a 42-year-old Subianto supporter at a rally in central Jakarta yesterday.
