2:09Now PlayingProtesters clashed with police in Jakarta on Monday, as thousands of Indonesian students resumed demonstrations against a new law they say has crippled the country's anti-corruption agency.
Authorities blocked streets leading to the parliament building in Jakarta, where 560 members of the House of Representatives, whose terms ended Monday, held their last session.
Clashes between students and riot police broke out in the evening when police tried to disperse the student demonstrators, who attempted to reach parliament.
Protesters set fires to tyres and pelted police with rocks, petrol bombs and firecrackers near blocked streets.
Riot police responded by firing tear gas and water cannons.
Similar clashes also occurred in other Indonesian cities, including in West Java's Bandung city and in Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi province, where a student was badly injured on Friday after being accidentally struck by anti-riot armour.
The students are demanding Indonesian President Joko Widodo issue a government regulation replacing the new law on the corruption commission.
