received October 25, 2025
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.
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.
We are publishing the names of our imprisoned comrades and the prison
address of the West Java paramilitary police compound where our friends
are held. Let’s not leave these comrades alone and let’s send them
solidarity letters, postcards and our message of fire. Even if the
solidarity post is stolen and blocked by the administrators of abuse,
they will know that we will hold them all responsible for what is taking
place in Bandung. Let’s shine a light on what the hated police torturers
and regime of Prabowo Subianto are doing to our young comrades, and
where it is taking place and by whom, and let’s fight back against the
police and all prisons everywhere.

accused of a leadership role within the “Chaos Star” network and leader
of the anarchist rioters. Eat is in solitary isolation and isn’t allowed

Name: Bima Satria Putra
Bima is an anarchist imprisoned for 10 kilos of cannabis who is known
for his prisoner’s union project, translations and writings since he was
jailed in 2021. Bima has been transferred from Palembang City detention
centre to Bandung, where the 43 “Chaos Star” network defendants are all
held. It’s unclear what charges have been brought against him due to the
general lack of information. Most likely, instigation, and ascribing a
leadership role due to his public writings. However, Bima is not part of
any individualist/nihilist anarchist network or any egoist cell.
The charges against the all suspects include violations of Articles 187
and/or 170 and/or 406, and/or Article 1 (1) of the Emergency Law No. 12
of 1951, with a maximum prison sentence of up to 20 years.
Additionally, they may be charged under Article 45a (2) in conjunction
with Article 28 (2) of Law No. 1 of 2024, which amends Law No. 11 of
2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE), and/or Article
170 of the Penal Code, and/or Article 406 of the Penal Code, and/or
Article 66 of Law No. 24 of 2009 on the National Flag, Language,
Emblems, and National Anthem. The punishment could be up to 6 years in
prison.
For provocation, they can also be charged under Article 45a (2) in
conjunction with Article 28 (2) of Law No. 1 of 2024, which amends Law
No. 11 of 2008 on ITE, with a maximum sentence of 6 years and/or a fine
of up to IDR 1,000,000,000 (one billion rupiah).
