Densus 88 – Dark Nights

Eat’s Case Partially Submitted in Court – The Comrade was Tortured (Indonesia)

Posted on 2025/10/28 by darknights

The West Java paramilitary police have submitted the first part of accused anarchist comrade Eat’s case to the court. The details are not reported yet but it is known that the comrade is being made into a ‘leadership’ scapegoat for the fabricated “Chaos Star” frame-up and he is also accused of ‘leadership’ of the mass insurrection which happened in August 2025. Parts of the legal case are still being held back because the Special Detachment for Anti-Terrorism (Densus 88) is handling the “Chaos Star” case, especially concerning Eat. There’s an effort to charge Eat under the terrorism law. This is also why the investigation period against Eat was extended until November 20th 2025. The Prabowo Subianto regime has reopened the old documents about the FAI-IRF attack in Yogyakarta in 2011. What is certain is that Eat was tortured, like the other detained comrades. We have not enough information to confirm the severity of his injuries. What we can confirm, is that despite being tortured Eat did not give anyone’s name. Eat is already paralysed in one arm and also suffering from serious health condition. The paramilitary police and Densus anti-terrorist unit are cowards who beat and torture young people in handcuffs. All over the world we are rising up against police bastards, politicians, jailers, banks and corporations!

We demand the freedom of Eat and all the other detainees!

Torturer’s hands off the detainees!

Fire to the prisons!

Important Information from Indonesia for International Comrades

Posted on 2025/09/21 by darknights

Indonesia, September 18, 2025, by XIII-XII.

After the mass action that took place at the end of August and early
September, a wave of mass arrests followed, with thousands of people
being detained across various cities in Indonesia — both post-action
arrests and sweeps from those already arrested. Even now, various
anti-authoritarian groups in Indonesia are experiencing widespread
paranoia, which is understandable for some people due to the state’s
cyber operations aimed at mapping both formal and informal
anti-authoritarian cells. Several collective and individual names have
already been collected, which only adds to the paranoid climate that
continues to persist. Some refer to this as “going underground,” or even
as an individual safety method, to later continue efforts for solidarity
with comrades who have been designated as suspects. The state has
labeled anarchists as the masterminds behind all the mass actions that
took place in various cities. For example, in Bandung, the authorities
have designated 42 protesters as suspects, and in Jakarta, 16 people
have been labeled as suspects. This doesn’t even account for other
cities that have not yet been verified. All those who are detained face
obstacles in accessing legal assistance, and torture is not spared
during interrogation and examination. Continue reading “Important Information from Indonesia for International Comrades” →

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” →
