1st video: Clips around the world of anarchist sabotage and destruction
2nd video: Cut audio from “Chaos Star” prisoners in so-called Indonesia + Video behind it
3rd video: Video showing solidarity with all anarchist prisoners worldwide
Part II: Two more video clips for worldwide destructive anarchy. ‘Armed Joy’ + ‘Black International’. First clip narration is from Alfredo M. Bonanno‘s seminal Armed Joy. One of the most important pamphlets of the late 20th Century, for which Alfredo was imprisoned in Italy. The book has been translated into many languages and continues to circulate. The message of the book is as vitally urgent today as it was when it was first published. Second clip honours our slain anarchist comrades and our internationalist tendency of attack. This civilization will be ruins…
Adit and Chaos Star prisoners at trialDeath to the State and Long Live Anarchy
On April 16, 2026, the verdicts were delivered for five of our comrades at the Bandung District Court. The details are as follows:
* Albi: sentenced to 6 months in prison for the Bandung unrest in August–September 2026.
* Pem: sentenced to 9 months in prison for the arson attack on the police post in Gentong, West Java.
* Herdi: sentenced to 9 months in prison for the arson attack on the police post in Gentong, West Java.
* Nopal: sentenced to 1 year in prison for the arson attack on the police post in Gentong, West Java.
* Adit: sentenced to 1 year in prison for the arson attack on the police post in Gentong, West Java.
Also, the first trial of our comrade Dena, also known as Apip or Scoobydoomz, has been postponed and is now scheduled for April 24, 2026.
This trial marks the beginning of proceedings against comrades involved in the arson of Hana Bank during protests against the Indonesian Military Bill in March 2025. Adit, Nopal, and Jalus may face further trials for separate charges.
Note:
Adit and Nopal have already faced two trials on different charges, and the combined sentences they currently face total three years in prison, not including the upcoming verdict for the Hana Bank arson in Bandung.
Gregorius Hugo, also known as Bake or Bex (informant), received only 7 months and 15 days—a sentence that can be considered virtually a free pass due to time already served in police and prosecution custody. This light sentence, despite his key involvement in the Gentong case, confirms his role as an informant/dead fucking snitch and his cooperation with the authorities! We advise international networks to cut ties with him.
For anarchy and the black international!

After everything that has happened regarding the act of violence I committed in the case of the burning of this police post, I have gained many things that I must take upon myself. About how the state —long before what I did— has carried out acts of violence on a far greater scale.
To be honest, after the defense I presented in the case of the August 2025 demonstration was rejected, everything feels pointless. My defense in the previous trial was already very long, explaining everything in great detail. Yet my suspicion that the verdict had been determined from the beginning only grew stronger when the decision was finally struck with the gavel. The state has sentenced me to two years in prison, and now the state demands again that I be given the same sentence. And for that, I only have very little room to defend the violence that I have committed.
It has become an open secret that all forms of violence and abuse of power by state apparatus —(read: the police)— have produced forms of human rights violations. One of the most severe and intolerable is the taking of human life. The Commission for the Disappeared and Victims of Violence (KontraS) recorded 602 incidents of violence involving members of the Indonesian National Police from July 2024 to June 2025. From the Kanjuruhan tragedy, Randi and Yusuf, Afif Maulana, Gamma, Affan Kurniawan, Arianto Tawakkal, to Eko Prasetyo—the most recent—killed by the police.

After being arrested by the West Java Police in September 2025 and serving a six-month sentence at Kebon Waru Prison in Bandung, Comrade Komar was once again arrested by the Surabaya City Police on March 9, 2026, under charges of incitement. The new charges stem from different documents related to protests in Surabaya during August-September 2025, as well as involvement with the Black Bloc Zone account on social media.
It is worth noting that during his trial in Bandung, Comrade Komar had already disclosed that his actions did not meet the criteria for criminal offenses.
On Thursday, April 16, 2026, Comrade Komar will face his first hearing at the Surabaya District Court. Let us show solidarity for Komar, and for all anarchist prisoners in Indonesia.

Contributions from Jasul, Adit and Eat for the solidarity infonight in Bristol and London, UK, about the repression after the uprising across the Indonesian archipelago. The contribution can be translated and used for all solidarity events that take place that aim to raise awareness and solidarity about the Chaos Star case and the broader reality.
From Jasul and Adit.
Hello comrades, warm greetings from Bandung to Bristol.
We introduce ourselves as prisoners from what is known as the “Chaos Star.” This correspondence carries fragments of memory from years marked by chaos, surveillance, and arrests. We send this message from behind the bars of a prison in—so called—Indonesia. We are currently serving sentences related to the August 2025 unrest, the pipe bomb attack on a police post in December 2024, and the destruction of Bank Hana during the anti–TNI Bill protests in March and May Day 2025.
The unrest last August became the largest manhunt against activists and anarchists since 1998. This year, 703 political prisoners—although we reject that label—are still undergoing legal processes or are detained. We prefer to be called Anarchist Prisoners rather than Political Prisoners. This is an issue we want to critique. The label “political prisoner” places us within certain relations of power: we are framed as symbols of resistance, victims or survivors of a regime, or tools for legitimizing particular political agendas. Instead, we are Anarchist Prisoners. We reject the very foundation of politics itself. Our emphasis is on the autonomy of the subject and individual disobedience, without serving any project or representation tied to political agendas. By using the label Anarchist Prisoners, we assert a distance from the language of power and maintain a position outside the political field that seeks to regulate, define, and justify everything.
