The West Java paramilitary police have submitted the first part of accused anarchist comrade Eat’s case to the court.

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

From Montreal Counter-Information - Indonesia

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, 44 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.

Solidarity with the Archipelago of Fire!

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.

Who’s afraid of a little anarchy?

From new mandala by Mochammad Naufal Rizki - 26 Sep, 2025

The official response to August's protests shows how Indonesia’s small but active anarchist community has become the go-to bogeyman for governments seeking to justify crackdowns. The scapegoating of anarchists has meanwhile undermined the unity and political impact of anti-oligarchic protest movements.
