Suspects aimed to incite chaos: Indonesia policeJAKARTA, Indonesia -- Indonesian police arrested 10 people including prominent citizens for suspected treason and other crimes and said they were planning to use a mass protest in the capital on Friday to cause chaos and overthrow the government. The second major protest by conservative Muslims against the minority Christian governor of Jakarta drew some 200,000 people to the city's streets and ended peacefully. The governor, an ally of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, is being prosecuted for blasphemy, a criminal offense in predominantly Muslim Indonesia. Two people were arrested for suspected breaches of the electronic information and transactions law. "They intended to incite people to overthrow the legitimate government using today's mass rally," said National Police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar.
