From the Carcass of a Rotting World
Video created by Anarcho-Nihilist comrades in UK to raise awareness of the August 2025 Insurrection in Indonesia and the state repressive wave that followed.
In solidarity with all the prisoners and the ‘Chaos Star’ case comrades.
We will never forget the fallen, they are still present in our struggle.
Nothing is over, the conflict continues.
Long Live the FAI/IRF!

Repression and Resistance in Indonesia
In August to September 2025, widespread riots took place in Indonesia across various cities on the Archipelago. It was the largest modern social uprising in the country and it was arguably triggered by the killing of Affan Kurniawan, an online motorcycle courier, who was emblematic of many of the protestors: Marginalized, precarious workers, street people, working and underclasses. Affan was murdered by Brimob mobile brigade police in an armored vehicle, the cops ran him over in front of the crowd in Jakarta. The death happened in the context of an ongoing protest against government corruption, the rising cost of living and police brutality. The killing ignited even greater mass protests, which lead to violent clashes with police and paramilitary law enforcement. Lawmakers and politicians openly mocked the demonstrators, who were only calling attention to immediate social issues that concerned everyone, and pointed to the growing reactionary power of the ex-military regime. Since the riots, the repression has grown even harder.
Starting on August 30, 2025, hundreds of thousands took to the streets in cities including Bandung and Jakarta, demanding not only accountability and justice for Affan, but an end to the entire corrupt political-military-capitalist racket. Anarchist methods and street tactics became widespread, as did anarchist slogans and targets. The government factions, political parties, unions and students associations completely lost control of the narrative. They couldn’t control the anger on the streets and the moment of the revolt was sparked. Many government buildings, corporations, police stations and senior politicians residences were looted and/or burned down.

Update about Alfarisi bin Rikosen, 21 years old, arrested in Surabaya on 9th September 2025: Today, 7 January 2026, Alfarisi’s family have stated through Alfarisi’s brother and Alfarisi’s lawyer, that Alfarisi did not have any medical condition, as claimed and propagated by cops through media and NGOs. Several times Alfarisi’s brother was able to visit him in custody, and he said that Alfarisi was tortured physically. Police are now refusing to answer any questions. Kontras, an independant human rights and anti-torture NGO still hasn’t got any confirmation from police. Police claimed that the family of Alfarisi said he had a medical condition. In the statement today, Alfarisi’s brother and lawyer denied they gave any such statement to police about that medical condition. So, if he didn’t have any medical condition, there’s only one answer left: he died under torture.

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!
