2022 Indonesian student protests
The 2022 Indonesian student protests, also known as the 11 April demonstrations (Indonesian: Demo 11 April), were a series of protests led mostly by students throughout Indonesia. They were triggered by rumours regarding a delay of the 2024 election and proposals of amending the Constitution to allow President Joko Widodo to have a third term. They drew attention to food prices and the rising price of cooking oil in Indonesia. They were conducted mostly by university and college students in major cities across the country, and much of the organizing was done by the All-Indonesia Students Executive Alliance (BEM-SI).

The main protests were preceded by a split between BEM-SI and BEM Nusantara, another student alliance, with some separate protests trying to distance themselves from BEM-SI despite similar goals and demands.
