Indonesia: Update Situation of Bima Satria Putra (Pustaka Catut) and a Call for Solidarity!

Posted on 2025/11/01 - 2025/11/05 by darknights

This corrects an earlier info that Bima was transferred to Bandung West Java paramilitary police compound. It seems Bima was only placed in solitary confinement and his comrades couldn’t reach him. LBH Bandung received incorrect info about the supposed prison transfer. Bima’s comrades managed to communicate with him and confirm where he is:

Our friend, Bima Satria Putra, who has been held in prison alongside his friend since early December 2021 for their 15-year sentences due to weed possession, is currently being subjected to solitary confinement.

On October 18th, 2025, between the afternoon and evening, Bima was taken out of his cell by the officers in Merah Mata Prison, Palembang, Indonesia, where he’s been serving his sentence.

At the time of writing (October 30th, 2025, 10AM GMT+7), we are yet unable to ascertain what caused Bima to be taken from his cell, where/what else he has been taken or subjected to, and by whose orders. Moreover, the legal counsel appointed to assist Bima is being obstructed from access by the prison administration, and has been unable to reach Bima thus far.

Mexico: Solidarity with the Archipelago of Fire! Demo at the Indonesian Embassy in Mexico City

Posted on 2025/10/28 by darknights

Report back of solidarity action in Mexico City for persecuted anarchists in Indonesia:

On October 17, 2025, anarchist groups such as the CATL and Cruz Negra, along with Radio Zapote and others, gathered near the Indonesian embassy in a wealthy Mexico City neighborhood to proclaim solidarity for anarchists persecuted and imprisoned by the state. Surrounded by police filming and intimidating us, we shared food with the community while we disseminated information about the crackdown against anarchist activists in Indonesia.

We undertook this action to express our solidarity with the uprisings which began after the Indonesian parliament awarded themselves a housing subsidy equivalent to ten times the minimum wage and passed legislation that allows military personnel to run for political office, renewing fears of another military dictatorship. These protests exploded after police murdered Affan Kurniawan, a 21-year-old delivery worker by smashing into him with their armored vehicle.

For many months, members of the Indonesia’s Generation Z have taken to the streets, participating in what has been called the “global south revolts,” a wave of resistance sweeping through countries such as Bangladesh, Morocco, Nepal, Madagascar, Ecuador and Peru in which the citizens of those countries have risen up against the misery imposed upon them by greedy capitalists and corrupt political elites.

During our anarchist solidarity event in Mexico City, we also discussed our comrade “Eat” who, along with other anarchists, has been detained incommunicado for some time. The police had been searching for Eat because he had been raising funds for and providing support to 42 Indonesians accused of being members of the insurrectionary anarchist movement.

It looks like we are facing a series of uprisings spreading across diverse geographies, and its ideas do not pursue a political model but rather an epic struggle against the injustices that are being sought to be installed in the global sphere, and especially in the South.

Throughout the global south and all reaches of the globe, a resistance is spreading against the misery and injustice imposed by global elites, an anarchist struggle that fights against venal politicians and predatory capitalists alike.

¡Muerte al estado y que viva la anarquía!
Death to the state! Long live anarchy!

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!

URGENT: Update and Postal Address for the 43 “Chaos Star” Imprisoned Comrades in Bandung (Indonesia)

URGENT: Defendants in the “Chaos Star” network case face up to 20 years in prison

After the mass revolts in August 2025, where a large section of the population rose up and attacked the state’s basic corruption and inequality, 43 anarchist comrades are imprisoned at the West Java paramilitary police compound in Bandung. There is no access for anyone but the families, and even this is minimal. The detainees have been cut off and they are being used in a mainstream media manipulation campaign by the Indonesian state. Many of the imprisoned comrades are very young. They are all accused of being part of the individualist-nihilist “Chaos Star” network, which is a fabrication created by the police for the purpose of their prosecution. The police claim that the imprisoned comrades were radicalised by ‘Leaders’ and funded by foreign anarchist organisations. The cops point to the existence of banners, flags, books, pamphlets and music, which is in the possession of the detainees, as commonly held items denotative of membership of this “Chaos Star” organisation.

Some of the comrades are accused of serious direct actions such as molotov attacks, arson, riot, property destruction, etc. Lastly some of the comrades are accused of instigation, either online, for their blogs or social medias or for their ‘prominent’ role. They are isolated in the paramilitary compound and the Legal Aid Institute (LBH) in Bandung has been blocked from representing them. An option is to hire a private lawyer but that would cost tens of millions (rupiah). We ask for heightened attention to this dangerous situation. Torture and abuse are being widely used on the detainees, confirmed by the families. The young comrades were injured and hurt until they gave false confessions that they were even at the demonstrations and/or part of specific organisations, as they were subjected to the brutality of the paramilitary police. This is a known fact and a reality that we have to confront. In the wake of the insurrection across Indonesia against the right-wing ex-military Prabowo Subianto, the young people and the anarchist movement has been severely repressed by the regime. Many young people have been caught up in the police assaults and regardless of their supposed “guilt” or “non-guilt”, we extend our solidarity with them, and to all those who struggle against social oppression, prisons, police and the state.

Anarchist comrade Eat kidnapped by the police and held incommunicado (Indonesia)

Posted on 2025/10/02 - 2025/10/02 by darknights

After the uprising in August 2025, the Indonesian state is weakened and looks for scapegoats. On the 23rd of September, the bastards claimed another one and kidnapped comrade Eat. Eat is a wellknown anarchist who had spent time in prison on several occasions, such as for armed robbery and an incendiary attacks against a bank. His ex-girlfriend, Anzi Matta, snitched on him and that’s why he got caught, according to police. The cops seized his laptop and phone, so that will be part of his case buildup. The police bastards are holding him incommunicado, like the rest of the anarchists. Right now he’s being held at the West Java Regional Police Station in Bandung. That’s where many comrades are held. We don’t know what official charges and accusations they will hit him with. We do know that he was being publicly accused of being the leader of the anarchist “Star of Chaos” variant in Indonesia, in connection with the riots last August. We have not heard about such a leader of anarchists, let alone nihilists, before. Nor have we heard of any such formal network of chaotics yet. Evidence of cops is simply, possession of flag or items, zines, musics, social media profile, participation or not in the riots, in many cases it appears, to try to legitimate the use of the anti-terrorist laws. At first sight seems like another absurd and fantastical concoction of the anti-terrorist unit, such as the lie that international funding of $500,000 created the revolt. This is part of the Indonesian state trying to change the narrative. Across the region our currents and tendencies grow. Their future is finished, anarchism is the narrative.

We know that according to the news circulating in Indonesia, after arresting 42 people accused of being part of egoist/insurrectionist cells, the police were pursuing Eat because he was also suspected of being a fundraiser, working on prisoner solidarity and connected to international anarchists, that is, he maintained friendships across borders. The police try to weaken the anarchist resolve by blaming snitches and creating anarcho-phantasms, but we know they lie and use torture. What we know is that the police are spreading that the former partner of Eat, Anzi Matta, helped them with information that lead to the arrest of Eat in Makassar, and he was brought to the West Java Regional Police in Bandung on 23rd September, where he remains.

Direct Action at Indonesian embassies, corporate interests and related.

Freedom for the prisoners – Death to the state.

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” →
