This image captures a protest occurring on an asphalt road in Pati, Indonesia, under clear daylight conditions. In the foreground, a smoldering pile of charred debris, consistent with burnt tires and other materials, emits significant white smoke and minor visible flames on the roadway. Scattered plastic cups and other refuse are present around this burnt area. Partially visible white road markings, including a turn arrow, are situated just behind the smoke. The midground is densely occupied by a large crowd of individuals, predominantly male, many of whom are seated directly on the road surface. A central figure, with their body entirely coated in a light-colored substance (possibly paint or ash) and wearing sunglasses, sits cross-legged near the smoke, holding a wooden stick with a white cloth attached. To their left, an individual dressed in dark attire stands upright amidst the crowd and smoke. In the background, a large stage or truck platform is visible, equipped with loudspeakers and adorned with Indonesian flags and other banners. Additional protesters are positioned on this platform. Beyond the crowd, commercial buildings line the street. A green street sign in the upper right background displays "JUWANA, REMBANG," indicating geographical directions. Overhead utility lines and poles are also present. The scene conveys a public demonstration involving a substantial number of participants, street blockade, and a visible act of burning.
