Eight anarchist detainees from the “Chaos Star” case have undergone their first court on 18 November 2025. This means they have now been transferred to the prosecutor’s detention facility. They are accused of throwing stones at police officers, allegedly causing around Rp 2 billion in damages during the 30 August 2025 demonstration. All eight have been charged with multiple articles: Article 170 (violence in public), Article 214 (collective resistance), and Article 406 (destruction of another person’s property) of the Indonesian Criminal Code. They are:
• Muhamad Subhan (M.S)
• Eli Yana (E.Y)
• Muhamad Vansa Alfarisi (M.V.A)
• Muhamad Rifa Aditya (M.R.A)
• Veri Kurniawan Kusuma (V.K.K)
• Joy Erlando Pandiangan (J.E.P)
• Muhamad Jalaludin Mukhlis (M.J.M)
• Jatnika Alang Ramdani Septiawan (J.A.R.S)
All eight were tortured to force them into confessing to the alleged offenses.
