00:00An investigation by Indonesia's state-run human rights bodies has found widespread violations by security forces during last year's deadly
00:09anti-government protests.
00:11A new report says more than 5,000 people were detained, with many alleging mistreatment, including beatings and electric shocks.
00:22Investigators found a pattern of arbitrary arrest, torture and inhumane treatment, alongside intimidation of civilians and journalists.
00:30The report also details allegations of sexual abuse, including cases involving underage female protesters.
00:38Thousands had taken to the streets nationwide last year, protesting against government spending policies.
00:44But the demonstrations turned violent after a delivery driver was killed by a police vehicle.
00:50At the time, President Prabowo Subianto described the unrest as an act of treason.
00:55So far, only one officer has been dismissed over the death, while another has been demoted.
01:01No other senior officials have faced disciplinary action.
