JAKARTA, Oct 8 — Hundreds of people were arrested in Jakarta today as tens of thousands protested across Indonesia for a third day against a controversial new law that critics say will harm labour rights and the environment. Jakarta police spokesman Yusri Yunus said more than 400 people — mostly teenagers — had been arrested in the past two days, accusing them of provoking unrest during the protests.
The government hopes a new bill — which aims to cut red tape by amending dozens of existing laws covering taxation, labour and environment regulations — will attract foreign investment.
