Suara.com – A number of people held a demonstration in front of the Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) Regional Police Headquarters (Polda) on Tuesday (24/2/2026) evening.
Based on Suara.com’s monitoring in the field, the crowd who arrived went straight to the east gate of the DIY Regional Police Headquarters. The water barrier that was originally put up by the police was immediately dismantled.
The crowd that continued to arrive immediately approached the east gate and carried out pushing actions against the security barricades.
At its peak, at 18.43 WIB, the gate on the east side of the Yogyakarta Regional Police had successfully collapsed due to the increasingly solid pressure of the masses.
A number of people were also seen scribbling on the outer walls of the DIY Regional Police Headquarters.
Writings such as ‘All Cops Are Bastards’ to ‘Murderers’ have decorated the walls.
This action has a significant impact on traffic flow on the North Ring Road. The crowd that overflowed onto the main road diverted the flow independently.
Vehicles from the west heading in front of the DIY Regional Police were forced to turn around. So long traffic jams are inevitable around the intersection of Condongcatur and UPN.
This action is a collective response from various levels of society.

In their call to action, it is known that the masses expressed their anger at alleged violence by the authorities and state actions which were considered to perpetuate violence.
Until this news was published, the masses were still remaining at the location of the action and the situation in front of the Yogyakarta Regional Police was still tense with tight security from police personnel behind the collapsed gate.
