The daughter of Indonesia's founding president was among ten people arrested over an alleged plot to use a mass protest in the capital on Friday to overthrow the government.

Two former army generals and a well-known musician were also reportedly among those arrested for suspected treason and other offences.

Rachmawati Sukarnoputri, the daughter of Indonesia's founding president Sukarno and younger sister of former president Megawati, was arrested in the early hours of Friday morning, her lawyer said.

Local news outlets reported that Ms Rachmawati held a press conference on Thursday to call on protesters to occupy the House of Representatives and demand that the Constitution be returned to its original 1945 version, arguing that amendments have made Indonesia too liberal and dependent on foreign powers.
