Alfarisi bin Rikosen, 21 years old, arrested on 9th September 2025 in Surabaya and imprisoned in Medaeng compound. He was accused of attacking a regional government building with a Molotov during the August uprising. Alfarisi was one of 288 people detained and tortured in Surabaya, where there are also 32 accused anarchists.
Alfarisi died in police custody on 30th December due to a long running serious health condition that the police denied him medical treatment for. His trial was due to start 6th of January 2026.
Alfarisi didn’t claim himself as an anarchist but he’s a brave fighter and we will always remember him through our shared struggle. Those who are responsible are the police and the Prabowo regime. Those who are right are those who rebel and resist tyranny until the end.
Solidarity means attack! ACAB!
