Thousands of protesters from the Indonesian Emergency Movement crowded the front yard of the Indonesian House of Representatives Building. The masses wearing attributes and carrying banners consisted of various elements of civil society, including workers, students, and activists. They held an action to reject the ratification of the Revised Regional Election Law. This demonstration was part of the 'Indonesian emergency warning' movement that went viral on social media after the DPR was considered to have ignored the Constitutional Court's decision.

Even Indonesian artists also protested and joined the community. One of them was a famous Indonesian actor, Reza Rahadian, who also delivered a speech. In addition, a number of comedians were also seen conveying demands to the DPR. They included Abdel Achrian, Abdur Arsyad, Gusti Muhammad Abdurrahman Bintang Mahaputra or Bintang Emon, Andovi Da Lopez, Ahmad Najmi Hidayat or Ebel Cobra, Muhammad Rizki Rakelna or Rigen, Arie Kriting , and Mamat Alkatiri.

On the same day, the Indonesian House of Representatives canceled the meeting to ratify the Pilkada Bill scheduled for today, Thursday (22/8). This was decided because the meeting participants who attended did not meet the quorum.

In addition to Jakarta, elements of society also held demonstrations with similar demands in various cities. However, some ended in chaos, such as in Jakarta and Semarang. The following is a collection of portraits of the chaos of demonstrations to guard the Constitutional Court's decision, compiled by brilio.net from various sources on Thursday (22/8).
