Two people were handed to BNNP DIY after urine tests were positive for drugs, while 22 children were returned to their families.
Polda DIY sent home 154 of the 157 people detained after unrest following demonstrations at several points in Yogyakarta on 10 November. One person, identified as MGYP, 23, was named a suspect for carrying a Molotov cocktail, firecrackers and a black folding knife. Two others, MFR, 23, from Sulawesi Selatan, and MAS, 25, a resident of Sleman, were handed over to BNNP DIY after urine tests showed positive for drugs. Police had earlier said the detained group came from unrest points stretching from the area around DPRD DIY, Malioboro, to the roundabout at Universitas Gadjah Mada. Antara reported that some were suspected of involvement in throwing objects and other acts of vandalism. Cases involving minors were handled separately; police said they were not carrying sharp weapons and had already been mediated with KPAI.
