Pertamina to empty filling stations prone to protesters' attack

State oil and gas company Pertamina announced Thursday that it would empty some of its filling stations nationwide on April 1 to anticipate any potential attacks from protesters who stand against the upcoming fuel price hike.
"For security reasons, we are suggesting all people for not going to filling stations along rally routes because we will empty them," Pertamina spokesman Mochamad Harun said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Harun said Pertamina was also planning to put security guards in place to ensure that the protesters would not damage its facilities.
The government is planning to increase fuel prices next month in response to the rising price of oil worldwide, a decision which has sparked nationwide protests.
Students and activists have repeatedly said that they would launch much bigger rallies should the government insist on implementing the policy.
