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.[2] 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.[3] They drew attention to food prices and the rising price of cooking oil in Indonesia.[4] They were conducted mostly by university and college students in major cities across the country,[5] and much of the organizing was done by the All-Indonesia Students Executive Alliance (BEM-SI).[6]

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.[7][8][9][10]
