Jakarta governor says six dead in Indonesia post-election unrest

21 Sept 05:45 Key points summarised by AI

Six people died and 200 were injured in Jakarta following civil unrest after the election commission confirmed President Joko Widodo's re-election.
Protests by supporters of challenger Prabowo Subianto, who claims widespread cheating, escalated into violence, leading to clashes with police and ongoing stand-offs.
Prabowo Subianto continues to reject the election results and plans legal challenges, despite independent observers and some coalition partners affirming the poll's fairness.
Authorities deployed 40,000 security personnel, arrested at least 20 provocateurs, and are investigating a 'systematic effort' behind the riots, with parts of Jakarta remaining closed.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
