Remember, remember the fourth of November
On 4 Nov 2016, Muslims in Jakarta turned out in massive numbers to protest the city’s Christian governor Ahok.
It was Sunday and the crowd marched from Istiqlal Mosque to the Presidential palace.
As the demonstration dragged into the night, the rally turned violent and fires were lit (below).
Around 80 policemen and double that number of protesters were injured in the clashes.
