Individuals headed towards an enormous stop in downtown Jakarta to challenge Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known by his epithet Ahok, who has turned into the objective of broad outrage on the planet's most crowded Muslim-dominant part nation.

Waving flags that read "Imprison Ahok, the law must be reasonable", demonstrators wearing white Islamic skullcaps and robes walked through the roads. Many had gone from outside the cash-flow to partake.
