Abstract

Abstract. Demonstrations are a form of public participation in voicing opinions which is guaranteed by Article 28E paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution. However, in practice, demonstrators often face repressive actions from "rogue" law enforcement officers. This study aims to analyze the role of the Garuda Yaksa Legal Consultation and Aid Institute (LKBH) in providing legal protection to demonstrators detained during the 2020 protests against the Omnibus Law in Semarang. LKBH Garuda Yaksa played a role in providing legal assistance, advocacy, and monitoring the rights of demonstrators to ensure they were protected according to legal provisions. This research uses a sociological juridical method with a descriptive analytical approach. Primary data were obtained from interviews with LKBH officials and demonstrators, while secondary data were obtained from legal literature and related legislation.
