Following demonstrations in Yogyakarta on November 10, 2026, which resulted in clashes, concerns have surfaced regarding the status of eight Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) students reportedly detained by authorities. The university has launched an investigation to track the students and is forming a joint fact-finding team to examine the circumstances of the incident. There is conflicting information regarding police conduct; while UGM officials have criticized the use of tear gas near university entrances, the regional police chief has denied that officers entered the campus, stating that authorities prioritized dialogue with participants.
