[Indonesia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Papuan student groups peacefully protested in Bandung, West Java on April 7, 2025, opposing PT Freeport Indonesia's mining operations and natural resource extraction in Papua while demanding Papuan self-determination and opposing military law revisions. The protest was characterized as low-severity and peaceful.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether similar protests emerge in Papua itself or gain broader momentum across Indonesia's mining regions.

Watch points

• Monitor for protest expansion to Papua province or other Indonesian mining regions where PT Freeport operates
• Track any escalation in protest intensity or government response that could affect mining operations
• Watch for broader anti-mining sentiment spreading to other foreign resource extraction companies in Indonesia
