Indonesia: caution at demonstrations after election results announced

Caution from Ottawa: Elections and demonstrations

The results of the July 9 presidential elections are scheduled to be announced on or around July 22, 2014. Demonstrations, which have the potential of becoming violent without warning, and other violent acts related to the elections results continue to be a possibility.

Large and occasionally violent protests have taken place in many parts of the country over a wide range of issues. Sporadic ethnic and religious tensions in areas of Indonesia have resulted in violence and civil unrest.

Avoid all demonstrations and gatherings, monitor local news and follow the advice of local authorities.
