"We have detained 58 people suspected to be provocateurs of the riot," Iqbal said at a press conference at the Office of the Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister headquarters in Central Jakarta. "There are indications that the rioters were mostly from outside Jakarta and that they were paid [to riot]." He said that the initial protesters in front of the Bawaslu headquarters were peaceful and cooperated with police. "We found an ambulance with a political party logo that was filled with rocks and other tools," Iqbal said, declining to name the party. He added that police would continue to interrogate the detained rioters to determine who was behind the riot.
