[Indonesia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 17, 2025, Indigenous People's Alliance of the Archipelago (AMAN) members conducted a peaceful protest at a district court in Seluma, Bengkulu province, Indonesia, demanding the release of two community members detained in a land dispute with state-owned plantation company PTPN 7.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If confirmed and part of broader land tenure conflicts, similar disputes could affect agricultural production in Bengkulu province, though the immediate supply chain impact appears minimal given the peaceful nature and localized scope of this particular protest.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of the underlying land dispute between Indigenous communities and PTPN 7 plantation operations
• Track whether similar protests emerge at other court locations or PTPN facilities across Bengkulu province
