Anarchist comrade Dena in prison transfer to Kebon Waru prison before trial (Indonesia)

Posted on 2026/03/12 by darknights

Imprisoned anarchist comrade and rapper, Dena (Maditya Dena) a.k.a Apip a.k.a Scoobydoomz, has been transferred to Kebon Waru prison in Bandung from West Java paramilitary police headquarters. This has finally occurred due to his charges being filed with the court. Dena is accused of the destruction of Hana Bank in Bandung, along with comrade Adit, who is also accused in the same case and faces trial. Dena is suffering with health condition related to his HIV+ status and in prison it is difficult to consistently obtain the meds, which costs money. Dena had been kept isolated from the rest of Chaos Star comrades. It is expected that Dena and Adit will face two years or less for the property destruction, however Adit also faces 25 years for the bombing of a police outpost, in an adjacent trial, relating to an action in 2024.

Fire to the prisons! Fire to the state!

Release Komar – Stop the Repression (Indonesia)

Posted on 2026/03/11 - 2026/03/11 by darknights

Our anarchist comrade Komar (Muhammad Ainun Komarullah) was arrested by police from Surabaya when he was released from Kebon Waru prison after serving a sentence for instigation related to the Black Bloc Zone blog and Instagram account. The arrest by the Surabaya police is a vindictive revenge against Komar, due to the fierce and humiliating clashes that took place in that locality. Hundreds of young people, delivery drivers, taxi drivers and precarious workers were rounded up in the aftermath of the anti-state uprising and brutally tortured. Police violence cannot hide the fact that the regime uses systematic torture. Let’s not leave this comrade alone in the hands of the police, write to Komar, send solidarity post here:

Tasikmalaya Regency Pipe Bomb Case Begins + Komar is Gate Arrested (Indonesia)

Posted on 2026/03/10 - 2026/03/10 by darknights

10.3.26 : On February 26th, the trial began for another section of the comrades of the Chaos Star Case (Adit, Opal, Pem, Herdi and Hugo [informant]). This case is about a pipe bomb that exploded which destroyed a police post in Gentong, Tasikmalaya Regency in December 2024. The action was claimed by the Free Association of Autonomous Fires. The communique can be found in the Blessed Is The Flame chronicle and was also published on Dark Nights. The action was declared in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, Nikos Romanos and all anarchist prisoners.

The comrades are being threatened with up to 25 years in prison. The anti-terrorist unit, Densus 88, tortured the comrades badly, including trying to damage their sight. The prosecutors maintain they have everything for a conviction, as well as the words of a snitch, Hugo. On early February 15 police officers from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the West Java Regional Police Headquarters went to Kebon Waru prison because Hugo reported that there was a threat to his life. These are the police that paid him as he coldly smoked cigarettes during the torture of our comrades and gave his “evidence”. All the comrades remain imprisoned in Kebon Waru.

On March 8th, we received the latest information that our comrade Ainun K “Komar” (a Chaos Star prisoner) was supposed to be released from the detention center in Bandung, but was immediately re-arrested by the Surabaya City Police (Polrestabes Surabaya) on suspicion of incitement through the Instagram account @blackbloczone. This new kidnapping comes as Komar has already been imprisoned for five months on the same charge in West Java. The Surabaya police are using the new laws which require less evidence and judicial process to revenge our comrade. Many of the imprisoned comrades are due for release but the tactics of the police bastards have to be confronted. What is particulary ridiculous is the accusation against Komar, is that he is responsible for the mass insurrection which took place in Surabaya, which completely humiliated the police and lead to their facilities being widespread destroyed. Release Komar now!

Fuori Alfredo dal 41 bis
Iniziative a Carrara e a Pisa, 14 e 18 marzo 2026

Ai servi del potere dico una cosa sola: potete tenermi in galera per il resto della vita ma rassegnatevi, non riuscirete a togliermi la coerenza e il rispetto di me stesso, né tanto meno il piacere e la voglia di combattervi.
Alfredo Cospito, 2021

Il 41 bis impiegato contro i rivoluzionari è una tra le principali espressioni dell’offensiva repressiva avviata dagli ultimi governi. Alfredo Cospito, anarchico finito in carcere nel 2012 per aver colpito uno dei responsabili del disastro nucleare che verrà, dopo quasi 10 anni veniva trasferito in regime di 41 bis e al contempo messo a rischio di una condanna all’ergastolo ostativo. La nuova inquisizione di Stato desiderava un annientamento totale.
Tuttavia, in particolare dopo l’inizio di un lunghissimo sciopero della fame da parte di Alfredo, si è sviluppato un grande movimento di solidarietà internazionale, che ha infranto la coltre di silenzio che vigeva su un regime detentivo prima di allora inviolabile e ostacolato la macchina della repressione.
Risale allo scorso anno la sentenza di non luogo a procedere nei confronti di una decina di anarchici, tra cui Alfredo Cospito, inquisiti a Perugia per la pubblicazione di un giornale anarchico rivoluzionario. Un’inchiesta che era stata un importante sostegno al trasferimento in 41 bis.
A prescindere da condanne e assoluzioni, sappiamo bene come il ministero della galera sia capace di scovare sempre nuove motivazioni per mantenere Alfredo in quella tomba per vivi. Così come sappiamo quanto il 41 bis sia un perno fondamentale nel sistema carcerario. Lo vediamo oggi con la riorganizzazione del regime detentivo al fine di concentrare una consistente parte dei detenuti in alcune carceri in Sardegna.
Con l’approssimarsi della scadenza dei primi quattro anni di applicazione di questo regime nei confronti di Alfredo, torniamo in piazza contro il 41 bis.
Nell’attuale contesto di guerra la tortura bianca del 41 bis è un monito contro quanti potrebbero decidere di farla finita con lo Stato e il capitalismo. Contro tutti i padroni della guerra, dello sfruttamento e delle tecno-scienze, continueremo sempre a sostenere le ragioni dell’azione diretta e rivoluzionaria.

$hile: Interview with anarchist prisoner Francisco Solar

Posted on 2026/03/09 by darknights

In this fourth interview, we engaged in a dialogue with our anarchist comrade Francisco Solar, acting as a bridge to spread his words and delve deeper into various topics and contexts of interest. His perspective and participation in grassroots projects are vitally important, as they break with the inaction that prison seeks to impose. Throughout this conversation, we address not only aspects related to his personal experience in prison, but also broader political reflections on the ongoing struggles and challenges facing anarchist circles.

1.- How are you doing now? Could you tell us a little about your experience in La Gonzalina prison? What differences do you see between the prison systems in Europe and Chile?

Almost a year ago, I left the maximum security wing where I had spent almost five years and moved to a high security wing with a normal regime, which basically means eight hours of yard time and the possibility of conjugal visits.

Based on the above, my situation is clearly more favorable, as I am not subject to the restrictions of a maximum security regime. However, sharing my daily life with fellow anarchists and subversives who were already in this unit makes prison life much more bearable. Escaping at times from the harmful authoritarian dynamics that exist among prisoners and trying to practice relationships that are contrary to these is a constant challenge and struggle that involves constant questioning. It is clear that we are not an island within this unit; we deal with contradictions and obviously sometimes reproduce behaviors that we say we reject. However, our dynamics, those of the anarchist and subversive prisoners, are different from those of the rest of the prisoners. Our relationships are not based on the stark authoritarianism of the other prisoners, and that is evident.

My daily routine consists of playing sports in the yard, talking and walking with my compañeros, and reading. As I have pointed out in other writings, it is important to have a daily routine, which, at least in my case, allows me to maintain a certain mental clarity and avoid falling into prison despair.

The differences between the Chilean prison system and that of Spain lie mainly in control. The Spanish prison system has managed to discipline life inside prisons through constant and prolonged adjustments to its control strategies. Through the FIES (Ficheros de Internos de Especial Seguimiento, Special Investigation and Security Unit) and dispersion, the Prison Service has pacified Spanish prisons, even managing to turn prisoners into their own jailers, as can be seen in the increasingly numerous “respect modules.”

Although the Chilean prison system is moving towards exercising control in the “Spanish” (or European) manner, the truth is that it is still a long way from achieving this. The control mechanisms are much more precarious and ineffective, which leads, among other things, to the establishment of certain “rules” imposed by the prisoners themselves within prison life. These rules are based on extreme authoritarianism that produces and reproduces relationships of outright slavery among the prisoners themselves. If solidarity was once present in these dynamics, today such relationships have been virtually relegated to make way for ostentation and the aforementioned authoritarianism that makes prison life a hostile environment.

$hile: Subversive compañero Tomás González escapes from the ex penitentiary

On February 25, 2026, former subversive prisoner Tomás González, along with another prisoner, escaped from the ex penitentiary dressed as a prison guard.
Comrade Tomás was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison (16 years for shooting at police officers to avoid arrest in May 2022) and 5 years (pending for carrying a Molotov cocktail) for the murder of police officer José Luis Rodríguez. Comrade Tomás was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison (16 years for shooting at police officers to avoid arrest in May 2022) and 5 years (pending for carrying a Molotov cocktail).

In the face of the repressive measures that are beginning to be imposed inside and outside, the call is not to provide any information useful to the repression. No collaboration is acceptable! No photos of our comrade, no information about his surroundings or connections given to the police!

Long escape and life to the comrades on the run and in hiding. All our strength and solidarity to those who still resist in prison.

“I cherish every moment in which I can,
together with my comrades, learn from the experiences that different generations have
passed down since ancient times, based on solidarity and humility.
Nothing is over, because the task continues to contribute in a concrete way.
Those who live fighting walk, opening paths wherever and however they can.
Autonomous and illegal, that is our horizon.”
– Tomas González Quezada

Chile: Some repercussions following the escape of subversive prisoner Tomas González from the ex Penitentiary

At noon on February 25, 2026, former subversive prisoner Tomás González and another inmate managed to escape from the former penitentiary dressed as prison guards. Tomás was serving a 21-year prison sentence for throwing Molotov cocktails and resisting arrest with gunfire.

Once the news broke and a media storm erupted, the prison service decided to remove the Regional Director and the senior staff of the former penitentiary: the Warden, the Chief of Operations, and the Chief of Internal Affairs. Loud statements from ministers and members of the government were broadcast on television during the first few days, along with a photograph of the fugitive.

The investigation was carried out by the Western District Attorney’s Office and the Investigative Police, who on March 2 conducted a series of raids in Maipú, La Granja, and the Pablo Vergara Toledo Community Space in Villa Francia.

Athens, Greece: Intervention at the offices of “Efimerida ton Syntakton” (EFSYN)

Posted on 2026/02/22 by darknights

This text was published in the course of an intervention at EFSYN in Athens, Greece and translated by the Berlin Assembly in memory of Kyriakos Xymitiris and in solidarity with the persecuted in the Ambelokipi-case.

We are intervening at EFSYN’ in order to publicize the following texts. This intervention follows our presence and the distribution of these texts in the area of Ampelokipi and on Arkadias Street in order to show our solidarity with the residents of the apartment building.

At the same time, we went to the spot where our comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris lost his life.

TEXT FOR THE APARTMENT BUILDING ON ARKADIAS STREET

On 31/10/24, my comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris and I were in the apartment at 4-8 Arkadias Street. During the processing of explosive materials, an explosion occurred that took the life of my 36-year-old comrade, caused my own very serious injury, and resulted in damage to the apartment building. Since then, I have been detained in Korydallos women’s prison under horrendous conditions, having to confront the loss of the person closest to me, my own injury, and very serious accusations.

This explosion obviously was not part of any plan, nor did it happen due to carelessness. This tragic development was the consequence of defective material, something that unfortunately could not be foreseen.

The anarchist political space to which we both belong fights for a world of equality, solidarity, and self-organization. For a world where monthly survival does not cause anxiety, where interpersonal relationships are not based on competition, and where a life in dignity is not a matter of luck. And when this anarchist political space chooses to attack those who impose poverty, exclusion, and insecurity with such means, it takes all necessary measures, often putting the acting subjects themselves at risk, in order to ensure the safety of unrelated people.

Beyond protecting people’s physical integrity, our political spectrum targets those who oppress and exploit us. It sets its sights on the powerful of this world. Those who eat with golden spoons while we make do with the absolute necessities, those who live off rents while we beg that there not be yet another increase, those who reap profit while we work twelve-hour a day. Those who spread death through wars, misery through high prices, fear through racism, extermination through long and uninsured labor. Those who impose uncertainty, insecurity, danger even when you simply take the night train to Thessaloniki or try to cross the border for a life with dignity.

We struggle so that all of this does not remain unanswered. To win back the right to live. To put a stop to injustice, exploitation, oppression, cover-ups. Within this struggle we risk much, we are targeted, we receive violence and repression, we endanger our safety, our freedom, and sometimes even our lives. Not because we are indifferent to life, but because we care about the life of our struggle and then we feel responsible for many people. Thus, we consciously set social solidarity as a priority.

My comrade adopted this stance in life, and that is why he decided to struggle with all means. And if he was still here, he would be the first to try to help the residents of the apartment building, not because he would regret the means he chose to struggle with, but because for him, as for all of us, solidarity and mutual aid are a deeply human feeling, a driving force that pushes us to action.

“We are not terrorists, nor criminals. It is precisely because of our love for life, because we rejoice in the human spirit, that we became fighters for freedom against this racist and deadly imperialist system.”

Rapper DSAVV Flees Custody at Lewisham Hospital

Daniel Boakye, aka rapper DSAVV, pulled off a daring escape from custody at University Hospital Lewisham around 3pm on Sunday, February 15. Officers chased him but failed to catch him before he vanished from the building.

Boakye wasn’t new to fleeing the law. He had already absconded days earlier and was arrested again at a Thamesmead address last week—only to slip away once more on Sunday. Continue reading “London, UK: Drill Rapper DSavv Escapes From Prison… Again” →
