Indonesia
More than 200 unionists from all ITF affiliates in Indonesia (KPI, IKAGI, SPKA, JICT, TPK-Koja, FTA-SBSI) took part in the Action Day. Led by the KPI, representatives of the maritime, railway, bus, aviation and port workers held a peaceful rally in front of the Iranian Embassy in Jakarata. A letter of protest signed by all the unions was received by the chief of security of the mission. Leaflets were distributed to the public as the demonstration took place. Media coverage was very good.
