Human rights activist Maria Catarina Sumarsih, whose son, Wawan, was killed in 1998, is participating in the 807th Aksi Kamisan, or Thursday's Protest, in front of the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Indonesia, on February 29, 2024. Maria is standing near a poster that reads, 'The 2024 election is the worst election in the reform era. President Joko Widodo's son became a vice presidential candidate with the help of his uncle, who was a constitutional judge.' Indonesian activists are protesting against alleged human rights violations and criticizing the Indonesian president for supporting presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto. Prabowo, who was accused of being involved in the abduction of pro-democracy activists in 1998, has claimed victory in Indonesia's presidential elections over rivals Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo based on early counts.
