A joint statement by Indonesia Corruption Watch, Trend Asia, and KontraS condemning the use of tactical vehicles by the Indonesian National Police (Polri) to suppress protests on August 28, 2025, which resulted in the death of Affan Kurniawan. The organizations highlight that Polri spent Rp1.93 trillion on 98 tactical and special vehicles between 2020 and 2024, with significant imports from South Korea's Daeji Precision & Industries Co Ltd totaling US$63.8 million (Rp1.05 trillion) from 2019-2023. The statement criticizes the approved 2026 police budget of Rp173.47 trillion and demands budget cuts and accountability for human rights violations.
