Members of the nationalist group ‘Patriot Garuda Nusantara’ (PGN) organisation attacked a group of protesters with stones and wooden sticks next to the Tourism Faculty of the Udayana University in Denpasar, Bali province, on 1 April 2024, around 10:00 am. At least ten protesters were reportedly injured during the incident (see photos and table below, source: AMP). The peaceful demonstration was organised by the Papuan Student Alliance (AMP). According to the AMP protesters, plainclothes police officers monitored the location since 8:00 am but failed to protect the protesters from the mob attack. The PGN members tore the banners apart and pushed the AMP supporters back until the AMP crowd dispersed.
