LMND students sew mouths shut in rupiah protest in Bandar Lampung
The Wednesday rally at Tugu Adipura urged the government to quickly stabilize the rupiah's exchange rate.
Students from the Liga Mahasiswa Nasional untuk Demokrasi (LMND) staged a mouth-sewing protest at Tugu Adipura in Bandar Lampung, Lampung, on Wednesday (10/6). During the demonstration, participants carried banners and protested the rupiah's weakness. They urged the government to immediately stabilize the national currency's exchange rate. The action was a symbolic protest against the economic pressure they highlighted amid the weakening currency. Photo reports from Antara and Republika both noted the protest site in Bandar Lampung and the crowd's main demand: swift government steps to curb rupiah volatility.
