Cop Raid – Dark Nights

Updates, repression and solidarity actions for the continuing struggle of anarchist comrades for the Indonesian Insurrection August 2025

Posted on 2025/09/16 by darknights

14/9/25 – Indonesia repression news

In short nationally there’s 5444 people reported arrested from the uprising. 583 are on further investigations. That is the recent report from the legal aid institution [www.lbhbandung.or.id]. On 3rd September the same leftist legal organisation released info that 3337 people had been arrested, so we can see that the repression is building momentum. Hundreds of anarchists are reported arrested.

The Indonesian anti-terrorist unit ‘Densus 88’, are basically a death squad and have been activated by the government. ‘Densus 88’ are now hunting the insurrectionary anarchist, nihilist and egoist circles and they focus on the arrested. They will try to charge the comrades already arrested and those wanted with terrorism, which will be hard to prove in court but the repression could be bloody and we ask for international attention and revolutionary solidarity. The anti-terrorist unit is officially hunting the same circle in Makassar. This is the way that the Indonesian state try to make a paranoid climate which is not that really successful.

Tosca and black

Anti-terrorist unit labelled the insurrectionists as the “Toska item chaos network”, which refers to a flag used by those to separate themselves from anarcho socialist who at early times still allied with underbelly of mainstream leftist. But now red and black and tosca always unite in the streets. So most of the comrades who used the individualist flag are also running with the flag of the chaos star also. Now the dynamics are different, insurrectionary red and black also affiliated with tosca, because of how many comrades are fed up with the NGOs and the leftists too. However five years ago if you go to the street and carry the individualist flag, the “civil anarchist” leftists and union members will block you and gave you to the police. After all this, the leftists and unions, NGOs, started to stink, and there’s no more infighting. In fact those three days were complete coordination with the red and black.

The intense riot of three days was the most spontaneous uprising in modern day Indonesia.

Long live the Tosca and black! Continue reading “Updates, repression and solidarity actions for the continuing struggle of anarchist comrades for the Indonesian Insurrection August 2025” →

Italy: Arrests and search operations between Pisa and the Apuan Alps in relation to the 2023 attack on the Pisa courthouse

Posted on 2025/09/16 by darknights

ARRESTS AND SEARCH OPERATIONS BETWEEN PISA AND THE APUAN ALPS IN RELATION TO THE 2023 ATTACK ON THE PISA COURTHOUSE (ITALY)

On the morning of 11 September, a police operation coordinated by the DDAA [District Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate] in the main city of Tuscany and conducted by the DIGOS [General Investigations and Special Operations Division] in Pisa and Florence took place in the municipalities of Carrara, Montignoso, Pisa and Sarzana. The operation appears to have been named “Delivery”.

According to our information, two anarchist comrades who are subject to a preventive custody order under house arrest (it is not yet known if there are any particular restrictions; updates will follow) were arrested in Pisa and Carrara. The comrades – who were already searched on 26 March in relation to the same acts – are under investigation for “terrorist acts involving lethal or explosive devices” and other related crimes. This is part of the proceedings concerning the attack on the Pisa courthouse on 21 February 2023. We would also like to point out that the comrades were involved in the 2023 “Scripta Scelera” operation, which was orchestrated by the Genoa DDAA against the internationalist anarchist fortnightly journal “Bezmotivny” (and which was essentially “shipwrecked” during the trial held in Massa against four defendants).

According to the latest information, the other comrades involved in this operation were only searched at home and in their vehicles. This was also in relation to the crime of “subversive association with the purpose of terrorism or subversion of the democratic order”.

Every day, in every court, hundreds of exploited people are sentenced. By means of sentences, men and women are buried in prisons and their friendships and love relationships are mutilated. By means of explosives, structures will be hit and men of power will be mutilated. For every death at sea, in prison, at work, in the CPRs, not one, but 100 bombs against the masters. Your cameras and guards patrolling the city will never be enough to prevent action from penetrating your buildings”, read the statement of claim by Gruppo di Solidarietà Rivoluzionaria – Consegne a Domicilio [Revolutionary Solidarity Group – Home Deliveries] (joining the FAI-FRI), concerning the action against the court. This action was part of an intense mobilisation against 41 bis prison regime and life imprisonment without parole, and was carried out in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, who was on hunger strike for over 120 days at the time. “Solidarity with all revolutionary prisoners around the world. Support social struggles with revolutionary struggle”, the text concluded.

UPDATE: The comrades are under house arrest with all restrictions (no communication or visits allowed).

Java, Indonesia: Comrade arrested and accused of running anarchist counter info site

A comrade in Java has been arrested and accused of adminstrating ‘blackbloczone‘ ,an Indonesian focused anarchist website, a few days ago. The comrade is still being detained. The media scum have been up to their old tricks of degenerating our comrades’ name. Fire to the prisons! Free the comrade.

Bremen, Germany: In Rage and Solidarity with the Uprising in Indonesia

Attack on the Indonesian Honorary Consulate in Bremen. Against the rise of militarism and neo-fascism in Indonesia and everywhere!

On September 7, 2025, at around 2:15 a.m., we attacked the Indonesian Honorary Consulate in Überseestadt, Bremen, with paint fire extinguishers. With the slogan “Tantang Tirani!¹” we disappeared into the night.

On August 25, massive protests and unrest began in many parts of the Indonesian archipelago, triggered by the planned massive increase in salaries for the parliamentary elite. The protests were militant from the outset, but after the cops ran over and killed 21-year-old delivery worker Affan Kurniawan on August 28, the protests exploded into a massive uprising. Delivery workers, anarchists, and youth looted and burned down police stations, politicians’ homes, and government buildings. President Prabowo Subianto deployed the military, and at least six people have been killed by police and military forces so far.

Chile: Raids for explosive device investigation

Posted on 2024/07/09 by darknights

As Informativo Anarquista, we aim to provide a brief update on recent events unfolding since the early hours of July 6, prior to the commemoration of the late compañera Luisa Toledo.

– Police conducted a series of raids on Radio Villa Francia, Comedor Popular Luisa Toledo, and multiple residences across various communes including Estación Central, Macul, Santiago Centro, La Granja, Cerrillos, and Maipú.

– During the operations, law enforcement uncovered artisanal and industrial weapons such as pistols, revolvers, a rifle, and a submachine gun alongside ammunition at one location.

– An industrial explosive intended for mining was discovered at another residence.

– Moreover, a homemade grenade containing black powder and a tear gas bomb were seized during a separate raid.

Subsequent to these events, on the afternoon of July 6, several individuals were formally charged. As of July 8, one person remains hospitalized. Of the detained individuals, one has been placed in preventive detention, two are under nighttime house arrest, nine have been deemed unlawfully detained, and one is awaiting an appeal.

Today, July 8, the preventive detention of a comrade and the house arrest of two others have been confirmed. The nine comrades previously held unlawfully are still awaiting a decision until July 9. Meanwhile, the comrade awaiting appeal has been placed under house arrest upon payment of bail. However, the Southern Prosecutor’s Office has lodged an appeal, which the Court of Appeals is set to deliberate on Wednesday, July 9. Furthermore, the hospitalized individual has been formally charged and placed in preventive detention.

These raids follow an investigation stemming from the incursion involving an explosive device placed in a Nissan car company in December 2023 and the deployment of a “sticky bomb” on a police vehicle during the March 29 skirmishes, coinciding with Día del Joven Combatiente (Day of the Combatant Youth).

Solidarity with those currently detained or imprisoned.

Greece: On the eve of the Tempi disaster an Anti-Terrorist operation has been unleashed updated

Posted on 2024/02/27 - 2024/03/05 by darknights

The anti-terrorist attack on the eve of the Tempi*

An anti-terrorist operation has been carried out since this morning in various regions of Greece. Houses have been raided and at least eight people have been brought in. They are talking about arrests as they link it to the bank bombing in Petralona. It is “interesting” that they are linking all eight to the same case. Journalistic reports are non-existent as everyone is reproducing the paper the GADA is sending them.

Source: athens.indymedia

DN: Since Tuesday morning 27th February, a major operation of the Anti-Terrorism unit is underway. At least eight people have been brought to the GADA after operations in various areas of Athens and in two prisons in the region. One person arrested apparently has been in prison formerly for bank robbery and armed actions.

According to the same information, the arrests are related to the bomb attack that took place on 25th January at a bank in Petralona. Searches are also being conducted at the homes of the arrested persons. Searches of the prisons were conducted as the cops are accusing there being communication between the accused and people in prison.

Three days after the bombing, the new organisation ‘Conspiracy Vengeance‘ had claimed responsibility. The same anarchist group had also claimed responsibility for the grenade in the car of a prison officer now serving in Korydallos prison & for the attack on the house – offices of the company ERGOMAR of the well-known businessman Dimitris Marinelis.

We will provide more information as we receive it.

* DN Note:

On 28th February 2023, a head-on collision occurred between two trains south of the Tempe Valley in Greece, about halfway between the Greek towns of Tempi and Evangelismos in the Thessaly region. The collision involved a passenger train and a freight train, killing 57 people. It was discovered that the passenger train had been allowed to proceed on the wrong track and pass signals at danger despite the presence of the freight train on the same track. Protests and riots occurred throughout Greece following the accident. Beginning on 2nd March 2023, railway workers of Hellenic Train and the Athens Metro went on strike to protest the dangers related to the crash. Following the accident, Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis resigned, taking responsibility for the crash and for his failure to bring Greek railways to 21st-century standards. I fthis was not enough it is still being covered upo to this day that the crash was the responsibility of many governments of the past, underfunding due to the extreme austerity measures placed on Greece after the 2007-2008 financial crisis, but also rampant corruption in infrastructure projects that continues even up to the present.

We would also like to point out that the Greek state and its security forces have a habit of unleashing military junta-esque anit-terrorist operations when they feel their backs are up against the wall, whether it is the rise in urban guerrilla activity or scandals that totally expose their true nature that everyone knows about, in attempt to distract from themselves.

*Update*

The Anti-Terrorist cops who conducted the searches of 4 prisoners cells and houses of other individuals have confirmed the repressive operation is connected to the organisation ‘Conspiracy Vengeance’. Six people have been arrested, along with the 4 already inside prison. Seizure of items at houses included assault rifles, hand guns and explosives. Mobile phones have been siezed in the cells of the prisoners.

The ten people are accused of participation and membership of a terrorist organisation, criminal support and provision of essential information, attempted murder, violence against officials and judicial persons, explosion, manufacture and possession of explosives, damage to foreign property and violation of weapons legislation.

Five particular attacks have been mentioned within the case already:

1. The sending a package with explosives to the Thessaloniki Courthouse, 12/02/2024.

2. An improvised explosive device at a bank branch in Petralona on 25/01/2024.

3. An improvised explosive device on 13/11/2023 in a building complex in Kifissia, where a company is housed.

4. Throwing a grenade on 08/07/023 at a car owned by a prison officer in Haidari.

5. Throwing a grenade and exploding an improvised explosive device on 24/06/2023 in the yard of a house in Larissa.*

The ten accused will stand before the judges to make a plea on Sunday 3rd March.

Already the journalist vultures are circling, the slime media machine is in overdrive especially about the parcel bomb that was sent to the Thessaloniki court that was intended for the President of the Court of Appeal.

Nothing is over, everthing continues.

DN Note

* This is an attack that has not been claimed, that the authorities are claiming was a failed attack.

The state would like to silence revolutionary anarchist propaganda… we will neither be silenced nor stopped. Poster in solidarity with those investigated in the Scripta Scelera operation (Italy)

The state would like to silence revolutionary anarchist propaganda…

Four house arrests with restrictions on visits, communication and the electronic bracelet, five obligations to stay in the municipality of residence combined with the obligation to return home at night from 7 pm to 7 am (including one subsequently aggravated to house arrest), in front of a request of ten arrests in prison; house searches and against the Circolo Culturale Anarchico “Gogliardo Fiaschi” and a commercial typography in Carrara (initially placed under seizure and released after a few days); huge seizures of papers and anarchist and revolutionary publications… This was the outcome of the repressive operation Scripta Scelera of August 8^th against the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny”. A “surgical raid” against a paper that for three years has published analyses and reflections aimed at the critical in-depth analysis of social reality, as well as claims and informative texts concerning actions of attack against structures and figures of the state and capital, responsible for all forms of exploitation and social oppression.

After the media hullabaloo and pompous declarations, if you allow, we also have something to say

We are not surprised by operations like this. Ever since anarchism emerged – not from the scholarly abstractions of some philosopher, but from revolutionary experiences, from the aspirations of the oppressed – anarchists’ papers have been hit. States have a long history of massacres, torture, assassinations, thousands of years of imprisonment against revolutionaries. We have the impetus of the dream and the risk of action, the determination of the will and the strength of necessity. And we continue on the path we have taken… Let inquisitors and illustrious magistrates get over it, beyond and against all censorship and repression, we will continue to rejoice every time this authoritarian social reality is attacked, its certainties shattered and troubled by the roar of revolt.

Faced with an increasingly bleak present – the abyss of global war, misery, generalised ecological disaster, techno-sciences, increasingly repressive political-economic manoeuvres at work, at the borders, against youth – the state needs to run for cover, trying to eradicate the “domestic enemy”: the exploited who do not lower their heads, those who do not resign themselves to this state of things, those who continue to cultivate the revolutionary transformation of the present through thought and action.

Let us not be discouraged! With the consciousness of revolutionary and internationalist solidarity with proletarians and the exploited throughout the world, we will continue to dream, seeking to lay the foundations and contribute to the destruction of the state, of capital, of all authority.

…we will neither be silenced nor stopped

Let us persist in upholding the justness of revolutionary action, against every state and every war of the masters!

Italy: Crackdown operation against anarchist newspaper ‘Bezmotivny’

Posted on 2023/08/11 - 2023/08/11 by darknights

CRACKDOWN OPERATION AGAINST ANARCHIST NEWSPAPER BEZMOTIVNY

At dawn today, August 8, the state, at the hands of the Genoa Public Prosecutor’s Office (in the figure of prosecutor Federico Manotti) and the DIGOS in La Spezia, carried out yet another repressive operation against the anarchist movement, with which it would like to silence – as was already happening over a hundred years ago with the “anti-anarchist laws” – every revolutionary yearning and aspiration.

Ten anarchist comrades are accused in this investigation, including five comrades from Carrara, for whom the prosecutor had originally requested arrest in prison: an order that Preliminary Investigation Judge Riccardo Ghio has changed to four house arrests with all restrictions, five residence obligations with overnight return, and one comrade with no restrictions. For one of the four comrades receiving house arrest was ordered by the GIP to be translated into prison as he lacked a formal residence: Luigi was therefore transferred to the La Spezia prison.

In addition to the house raids, the Anarchist Cultural Centre “Gogliardo Fiaschi,” the historical anarchist headquarter in Carrara, was raided. Magazines, books, leaflets, posters, and computers were subjected to seizure.

The comrades are charged with subversive association for the purpose of terrorism (art. 270 bis c. p.) and incitement to commit crimes (art. 424 c. p.) aggravated by the purpose of terrorism, in connection with the publication, as of 2020, of the fortnightly internationalist anarchist “Bezmotivny,” as well as offense to the honor and prestige of the president of the republic and clandestine printing.

Updates will follow on the steps that will be taken in solidarity with the comrades.

Revolutionary solidarity with the comrades arrested and subjected to the restrictive measures!

No gods nor state, neither servants nor masters!

Anarchist Cultural Circle “Gogliardo Fiaschi”
Carrara, August 8, 2023

–

On Tuesday, August 8, a crackdown operation against the anarchist movement was deployed in several cities, ridiculously called “Scripta Scelera” (perhaps an educated reference to the laws defined as heinous against the anarchist movement in France in the last decade of the 19th century? Or perhaps a reference to the recent trial Scripta Manent?). The investigation, directed by the DIGOS [political police] in La Spezia and the anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office in Genoa, is aimed particularly at targeting the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny,” published from the last months of 2020. The original request for ten prison arrests (five of which were aimed at the comrades of the “Gogliardo Fiaschi” Anarchist Circle in Carrara) by prosecutor Manotti – already responsible for multiple proceedings against anarchist comrades -, was changed by the judge for the preliminary investigation into four house arrests with all restrictions and electronic bracelet, five obligations of residence with overnight return and one comrade without any restrictions. A fellow recipient of house arrest was transferred to prison in La Spezia as he lacked a formal residence.

With this operation, once again, as was the case with the Scripta Manent trial (which involved convictions for the publication of the latest edition of “Anarchist Black Cross” and the management of some websites) and the Sibilla operation against the anarchist newspaper “Vetriolo,” the state intends to hit in a special way anarchist publications with the intention of giving a warning to the entire revolutionary movement.

We place no trust in the justice of the State: we uphold our ideas, we fight for the opening up of possibilities for liberation, we rejoice when the structures and figures responsible for exploitation and oppression are attacked. To take action against the state and the bosses is to have matured a determination such that it does not need to be “instigated,” because it is autonomy of thought and action that is expressed, not gregariousness and subordination to orders (a characteristic, this one, typical instead of the servants of the state).

Moreover, with this operation the state intends to restore the prestige of counterterrorism and the anti-mafia unit, eroded by the mobilization in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike against 41 bis and indefinite life imprisonment. This investigation, in fact, unfolds under the coordination of the National Directorate of Anti-Mafia and Counterterrorism, one of the top structures responsible for the repressive offensive against the anarchist and revolutionary movement.

SOLIDARITY WITH COMRADES UNDER ARREST AND UNDER THE RESTRICTIONS!
AGAINST CENSORSHIP, WE PERSEVERE IN AGITATION AND ANARCHIST PROPAGANDA!
TODAY AS YESTERDAY, AGAINST THE STATE, CAPITAL AND EVERY AUTHORITY!

Russia: Radical Resistance 29.03 – 13.04.2023

Posted on 2023/04/18 by darknights

Bashkortostan

On March 29 the court ordered four guerrillas to be put under arrest who used flammable liquid to set fire to a relay cabinet located at the 3rd kilometer of the line “Karlaman – Priuralie” in Karmaskalinsky district of the republic. Among the detainees were a student of a radio engineering college, a furniture polisher, an unemployed man and a teenager.

According to the investigation, after the first successful arson, they decided to set fire to a second cabinet near Urshak station. There they were detained, wearing balaclavas and carrying flammable liquids.

A criminal case was instigated under articles “Act of terrorism” and “Preparation for a crime”, while the first arson was prosecuted under article “Intentional destruction or damage to property”.

Kemerovo

On 31.03 guerrillas burnt a relay cabinet, this time in Kemerovo. The RDPS movement claimed responsibility, reporting that the local media were ordered to cover up the incident. The guerrillas managed to get away.

St. Petersburg

02.04 A bomb was detonated in a cafe in St. Petersburg, killing Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin), a military correspondent and propagandist for Putin’s regime. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the explosive device detonated by remote control detonated between 300 and 450 grams of TNT equivalent. Responsibility for the action was claimed by “the St. Petersburg column of the National Republican Army,” associated with the tg-channel Rospartizan.

Cafe Patriot was founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin, and then handed it over to the patriotic movement Cyber Front Z. It organized a “creative evening” for Tatarsky.

Daria Trepova, an FBK supporter and participant of anti-war actions, was indicted. She is charged under Part 3 B of Article 205, Part 4 of Article 222.1 of the Criminal Code (terrorist act committed by an organized group, deliberately causing human death; illegal carrying of explosive devices, committed by an organized group). According to the investigation, on April 2, Trepova, “following the instructions of persons acting from the territory of Ukraine”, brought a statue stuffed with explosives to the cafe and gave it to Tatarsky.

Daria was detained in a rented apartment in the Vyborg district of the city. During the interrogation she stated that she was used undercover, that she did not know what was inside the statuette. She also stated that the fulfillment of the task of gaining Tatarsky’s trust and passing the statuette was a condition of getting a good job in Kiev.

Napoli + Pozzuoli, Italy: Raids on houses of comrades in connection to a 270 bis investigation into attacks in solidarity with revolutionary prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas

Posted on 2023/04/01 - 2023/04/01 by darknights

On March 28, two houses, one in Napoli and one in Pozzuoli, were raided and four comrades were taken to the police station, in connection with a 270 bis investigation (anti-terrorist association), which was officialized in May 2022 following several house-searches.

Although the investigation is still ongoing, one comrade was placed under preventive arrest, accused of an arson attack against the Greek consulate in 2021. The prosecution contextualizes this attack within the campaign in solidarity with revolutionary Greek prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas, who at the time was on hunger strike.

The comrade has now been taken to the Secondigliano prison and is placed in the AS2 section (high security unit), while the three other comrades were released. According to the case’s files, the timing of the arrest was influenced by the relentless solidarity actions with Alfredo Cospito, an anarchist prisoner currently on hunger strike against the 41 bis regime and life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

This operation is part of a witch hunt that wants to frame anarchists as a public enemy to be eliminated. In the context of the countless actions in solidarity with Alfredo in Italy and abroad, we clearly see this repressive blow as part of the state’s attempt is to stifle every and any spark of rebellion.

When faced with repression, our solidarity will never stop.
