Post-August Mass Action Manhunt in Surakarta (Solo): Arrest of Comrades Riky and Kipli a.k.a Blazevomit (Indonesia)

As the authoritarian regime of Prabowo and Gibran tightens its grip on Indonesia in 2025, dissent has erupted across the nation. What began as a mass wave of protests against corruption, oppression, and systemic violence has turned into an unrelenting campaign of state-sponsored repression. In the streets, solidarity movements bloomed in the wake of a tragic event: the brutal killing of Affan, an online motorcycle driver run over by a Brimob [Mobile Brigade Corps- Special operations, paramilitary, and tactical unit of the Indonesian National Police] armored vehicle during a protest in Jakarta. This act of violence ignited an even greater fire of resistance, yet it also marked the beginning of a systematic crackdown on comrades, journalists, and anyone challenging the regime.

Two comrades from Solo, Rizky Ardiansyah, known as Riky, and Muhammad Rafli Andriansyah, or Kipli, were among the first to fall victim to the regime’s wave of arrests. The two were arrested in November for their involvement in a mass action in August at the Brimob Headquarters, Battalion C Pelopor, Manahan, Solo. They were charged with a range of serious offenses, including alleged property destruction and involvement in creating incendiary devices such as Molotov cocktails, accusations that were heavily inflated and fueled by visual evidence obtained by the police.

NEW YEARS EVE PRISON NOISE DEMO ON LEKWUNGEN Vancouver (Canada)

Joining in a Coast to Coast tradition: anarchists, abolitionists, and other comrades in a merry band against prisons held a successful noise demo at the front door of the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre (“Wilkinson” or “Wilkie”) for prisoners inside. Police response was dodged, and hostages of the state inside were reminded that they are not forgotten.

Carceral institutions like prisons warehouse people, cutting them off from loved ones. Phone calls are expensive, mail is slow and subject to search, and applications to be added to someone’s visitor list can be denied without clear reasons. When incarcerated people feel as though the outside world has forgotten them, this is colonialism working as intended.

2025 NYE at Barton Jail,in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada)

In the early evening of December 31st of 2025 in Hamilton, Ontario about 40 masked and dark clothed individuals joined together in the shadows of a city park. After Safety tips, lighters, and fireworks were shared, quietly and together we walked up the bridge to the jail that has held and still holds our friends and neighbours.

From the wiz pop of the first Roman candle to the banging, tapping, and shapes shifting in the windows they knew inside and we knew outside together it was New Year’s Eve at Barton Jail. The group stuck together tight and moved around the jail to reach as many windows as possible. Our big waves silhouetted against the snow by firework light. We wanted to make sure that the people inside for another year knew we didn’t and won’t forget that even they deserve a celebration on this special night.

(Indonesia) Arrests and torture in Bali, Makassar and Surabaya

General Situation in Indonesia

On September 16, 2025, 14 individuals were arrested by the Bali Police on charges of vandalizing buildings and vehicles in the area of the Bali Police Headquarters and the Bali Regional Representative Council during the August 30 demonstration.

Since September, 288 people have been arrested for the August uprising in Surabaya, East Java. Some of whom have been released in poor condition, since the police tortured them badly for three days. This leaves around 80 people remaining imprisoned in Surabaya, including approximately 30 accused anarchists there. This week, some of them will undergo their first trial. The case in Surabaya is particularly sad because many of those arrested are ordinary people, such as workers or online motorcycle taxi drivers who happened to be in the vicinity of the riots. Some were simply watching the riots but were then arrested sporadically. Although they were eventually released in a battered state, some of their property, such as their cell phones, was not returned by the police/ Motorcycle taxi drivers did not even get back the motorcycles they used to make a living.

Weatherford, Texas Woman Arrested in Connection to Prairieland Case, Bringing Total to Nineteen Defendants (January 6, 2026,USA)

CLEBURNE, TX – Police arrested Lucy Fowlkes at her family home in Weatherford, TX, yesterday. They took her into custody at Johnson County Jail. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation accompanied local police during the arrest on Monday evening, though she was charged under state, not federal law. Johnson County prosecutors have charged Fowlkes with Hindering the Prosecution of Terrorism and have set bond at $5 million. Similar to Daniel Estrada Sanchez, Janette Goering, and Dario Sanchez, Fowlkes is not known to have participated in the July 4, 2025 protest at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center.

Lucy Fowlkes faces charges in another ongoing case stemming from an incident at a drag brunch in 2023, where she was charged alongside Chris Guillot and Meghan Grant. In that case, authorities allege that Fowlkes and others unlawfully defended the family event from violent antagonists.

Surprising news: Zündlumpen case will not be opened (Munich ,Germany)

Huh, what’s going on over there? This is now the second time within a short period that we are rubbing our eyes in confusion. First the
release of Nathalie and Manuel from pre-trial detention. Now the
judicial association Himmelstoß and Co. are refusing to deliberate on the Zündlumpen case. Even better: they dismissed the case against the third accused outright and thus also the case for the creation of a criminal association.

After all a criminal association requires three accused. It seems that even in the eyes of the district court there is not enough evidence to prove that this third anarchist was involved with Zündlumpen. Instead they delegate the case, now only against two people, down to the lower court because they no longer feel responsible. In Bavaria things are happening… that not even we intractable anarchists would have thought possible. Continue reading Surprising news: Zündlumpen case will not be opened (Munich ,Germany)

Munich,(Germany) : Here is the translation of N and M’s letter published after their release.

As previously reported, we (Nathalie and Manuel) were unexpectedly released from prison on September 22.

in German 

(Below is a brief update on our release and the first few weeks afterward, followed by the subsequent publication of an open letter from prison dated August 2025).

At around 12:30 p.m., Nathalie’s cell door opened and a guard informed her that she was being released. She was not allowed to see her fellow prisoners, who were either locked up or at work at the time, except for a few to whom she was allowed to give small amounts of food. Then she was escorted out at around 4 p.m.

Manuel was notified of his release around 2 p.m. after his yard time. Since his cell block was open at the time he was able to give away more or less all of his belongings and say goodbye to his fellow inmates.

Before we were released from custody, a police officer from K43 was waiting for each of us, for Manuel it was KHK Unglaub and for Nathalie it was KOK Meyer, to give us a so-called “dangerous person warning.” Essentially, this consisted of warning us not to commit any crimes—not even “minor offenses” (KOK Meyer)—and referring us to an in-house de-radicalization program. We were assured that the doors of K43 would always be open to us.

Camarades, merci pour votre invitation au Congrès International des Prisonniers Politiques que vous organisez. Je vous adresse mes plus sincères salutations de la prison de Domokos, en Grèce.

Si l’ histoire de l’ humanité est la lutte de celles et ceux qui aspirent à la liberté, à l’égalité et à la solidarité, contre celles et ceux qui cherchent à imposer l’esclavage, l’ inégalité, l’exploitation et l’oppression; si l’ histoire de l’ humanité est la lutte des femmes contre le pouvoir patriarcal et sexiste, la lutte des pauvres, des peuples et de la classe ouvrière contre les élites dominantes, les riches, les esclavagistes, les féodaux, les bureaucrates, ou, dans les termes d’aujourd’hui, contre l’État et le Capital, alors cette lutte a été payée au prix du sang. Des camarades innombrables, partout dans le monde, ont donné leur vie dans ce combat. Ils sont tombés dans des affrontements avec l’ennemi, lors de heurts avec les forces de répression, sont morts en prison ou au cours de grèves de la faim, ont été assassins lors de manifestations et de grèves. Au fil du temps, cette lutte a coûté des millions de morts, des génocides de people sentiers, des milliers d’années de detention cumulées, ainsi que par la torture et l’ isolement.

[Chania, Greece] Banner hanging for Palestine Action members on hunger strike in uk


Eight detained members of Palestine Action are on hunger strike, some for over 40 days. Two of them are in critical condition in hospital. They are demanding their release (as they are being held beyond the 182-day pre-trial detention limit), a fair trial and the declassification of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. They are accused of breaking into and destroying military equipment at the Israeli company Elbit Systems, and at an RAF air base.

ON HUNGER STRIKE INSIDE THE CELLS FOR PALESTINE AND FREEDOM.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF PALESTINE ACTION PRISONERS.

DE-CHARACTERIZATION OF PALESTINE ACTION AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

FREEDOM IN PALESTINE.

Victory to the mass hunger strike for Palestine Action – Let’s crush the alliance 1+3

Since the 2nd of November, a rolling collective hunger strike has been taking place in  British prisons against the UK’s involvement in the colonial war in Palestine and the  crackdown on the Palestine Action organisation. Thirty-three prisoners have committed
themselves in advance, Amu Gib and Qesser Zuhrah were the first to start, and gradually the  number of strikers is increasing. The struggle inside the prisons has already gone
international, with the participation of comrades Massimo Passamani and Luca Dolce (Italy).

The demands:

-Immediate end to all censorship and restrictions on their correspondence and
communications.
-Immediate and unconditional release on bail.
-Right to a fair and transparent trial.
– Deproscription of Palestine Action.
-Permanent closure of all Elbit Systems facilities in the United Kingdom.
1
All demands serve the Palestinian resistance and the common struggle against  capitalist counter-revolution. The last demand places the hunger strike within the objective  aim of the political campaign for which Palestine Action was placed on the “terrorism” list.  Thus, the struggle continues from within prison.

Book presentation-Discussion ” State Against Commune: Law, Revolutions and Political ”Crimes” through the Centuries” with comrade P. Roupa (Athens,Greece)

Sunday 14/12 at 18:00 at the self-managed Perasma hangout ( Z. Pigis 97 & Isavron, Exarcheia )

The book ” State Against Commune: Law, Revolutions and Political ”Crimes” through the Ages” is a historical and political study of the concept of “political crime”. It moves away from its narrow legal dimension and examines the phenomenon within the historical context of social struggles and revolutions. The book seeks the roots of political crime , starting from pre-state free societies (communes) and their natural law. It describes how the first state structures tried to impose their power over these communities, thus creating the first political “crimes” as well as the acts of resistance of these societies against the attempt to abolish their right to live freely and self-organized.

The route passes through important historical periods and events: the ancient Athenian democracy, Rome, the medieval free cities, the Peasants’ Revolt, the French revolutions, the Paris Commune and revolutionary movements in Greece. Through these events and always according to the social and political particularities of each country and each era, common causes and goals of revolutions emerge, which are linked to the search for equality, autonomy , social solidarity and justice.
