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” →

Surabaya, Indonesia: Riot outside East Java government building against the new Military law

Posted on 2025/03/28 - 2025/03/28 by darknights

A violent clash broke out Monday in the Indonesian metropolis of Surabaya between police and demonstrators protesting against the country’s newly passed military law.

Around 1,000 students and activists dressed in black participated in the protest in front of an East Java government building.

Holding posters that said “Reject the Military Law”, and “The Military Should Return to the Barracks”, protesters hurled rocks, sticks, and Molotov cocktails towards the police guarding the demonstration.

The revision to the armed forces law, pushed mainly by President Prabowo Subianto’s coalition, was aimed at expanding the military’s role beyond defence in a country long influenced by its powerful armed forces especially under the brutal military dictatorship of Suharto called the “New Order” who were avowedly anti-communist and anti-anarchist. Large-scale killings and civil unrest primarily targeting members and supposed sympathizers of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) were carried out in Indonesia from 1965 to 1966. Other affected groups included alleged communist sympathisers, Gerwani women, trade unionists, ethnic Javanese Abangan, ethnic Chinese, atheists, so-called “unbelievers”, and alleged leftists in general. The dictatorship eventually fell in the May 1998 Indonesia riots triggered by corruption, economic problems, including food shortages, mass unemployment, increasing repression, genocide in East Timor and following the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

Indonesia: Burning of campus building in East Java in solidarity with Nikos Romanos and all anarchist prisoners

Posted on 2024/12/04 by darknights

Note: english translation is only a part of the whole communique

“A few days ago, precisely on November 22nd. I personally, who am not affiliated with any affinities, would like to give a communique.

That there was a burning of a building at one of the leading campuses on the south coast of East Java. I want to claim that the action was my doing.

What I did was purely solidarity with distant friends who have never met face to face. Especially to Nikos Romanos, Der Enzig and all the other anarchist prisoners. This is total revenge on the ward that gave birth to the disaster, namely the campus. I am isolated and not caught.

The nonsense of academics and activists does not end our suffering.

The campus and all its cronies did not provide the correct results of the crime scene investigation other than electrical short circuits and cigarette butts. But as an individualist I claim it is my action. With a little spark everything can burn.”

——–

Beberapa hari lalu, tepatnya pada tgl 22 November. Saya secara pribadi yang tak tergabung dengan affinitas mana pun, ingin memberikan komunike.

Bahwa terdapat pembakaran gedung di salah satu kampus terkemuka di pesisir selatan JATIM. Saya ingin mengklaim bahwa aksi tersebut merupakan ulah saya.

Kegetiran terhadap dunia Yang semakin carut marut dan mengalami distopia total. Saya sadar bahwa tempat ini merupakan bangsal yang melahirkan monster penghancur apa pun yang ada di muka bumi ini. Selain kekesalan. Apa yang saya lakukan adalah murni solidaritas pada kawan jauh yang tak pernah saling tatap muka secara langsungnya. Terkhusus kepada Nikos Romanos, Der Enzig dan semua tahanan anarkis lainnya. Ini adalah pembalasan total kepada bangsal yang melahirkan bencana yaitu kampus.

Saya terisolir dan tak terjaring.

Omong kosong akademis dan para aktivis tak membuat kita selesai pada penderitaan ini.

Pihak kampus dan segala kroninya tak memberikan hasil olah TKP yang benar selain konsleting listrik dan puntung rokok. Tapi saya sebagai seorang individualis saya mengklaim itu adalah aksi saya. Dengan sedikit percikan api semua bisa terbakar.

FIRE TO THE PRISON! BURN CIVILIZATION!

Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia: Communique Claim Action by Unit Nemesis

Posted on 2022/06/17 - 2022/06/18 by darknights

We claim that the ATM sabotage action in the early hours of June 11 in Solo, Central Java and the vandalism in Sidoarjo, East Java were the individual actions of our conspirators.

“We see their problem as lack of ambition. – Aragorn!”

At times like this we are haunted by the values ​​and products of the techno-industrial civilization that dominates us and even penetrates the joints of our lives, we carry out our daily activities which are definitely determined by civilized morality, even in anarchist social circles that still exist. Until now still glorifying these values, from this opportunity we draw a dividing line between those who are conformists and those who only rant but never spit those words out because they don’t need to be on our part!

“Anarchy does not mean to agree. – CCF”

With a fiery night we carried out the attack in solidarity with long-term anarchist prisoners everywhere, in particular Alfredo Cospito who is currently undergoing prison isolation and termination of correspondence, while simultaneously preserving the memory of our dear friend who has been arrested and is currently languishing for a very long time. behind bars. The defiant desires of those in prison (such as the practice of hunger strikes) inspire us and propelling us further towards the explosion of endless insurrection in every gap of the momentum to attack, in our opinion they are steadfast friends, even though they are very depressed by the chain of domination of the prisons of the techno-industrial society and state institutions.

We have seen various forms of solidarity from several regions in Indonesia, as well as internationally. For this we not only want stay silent and let our comrades walk alone on their path of rebellion, just like those who are inside, we still refuse to bend our knees and even bow our heads before Leviathan’s Economic Tyrannical Authority!

Economics is only the beginning of our commonality, but the economy is not a choice we consciously choose, it is a condition that” forced upon us. We hereby do not agree to solve the problem by creating a re-analysis about good economy! At best, the economy must be destroyed, it is a product from the social-elite who wants to take us to the desert of misery, destroying the wild as a resource to regulate our lives which also keeps us from free life and the last one accumulates as its power!

This attack is neither an end nor an answer but it is a question and introduction to our exploration of life that leads us to anarchy not the utopia (post-revolution) that is always told by us. those who do nothing, at the same time we write, we exchange information with our colleagues, we share roles by working together in our informal cells of anarchy, we reject a division because it is a replica of the idea marxists and western civilization that lead to authoritarian relations!

For the Wild!

Always Anarchy!

Embrace Iconoclasm!

Freedom for our comrades who are in prison!

Long live Conspiracy of Cells of Fire/FAI-IRF!
