(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.

Around 70 people gathered at the starting point in Plateia Amerikis with motos and bicycles.

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.

Alexis Grigoropoulos — One of Us ( Athens exarcheia ,Greece )

ALEXIS GRIGOROPOULOS  – ONE OF US

 “…A bullet in Alexis’s heart to end the cycle of the state machine’s omnipotence. A smear of blood on the pedestrian street of Messolonghiou to initiate the cycle of uprising that wrecked the legal order and spread chaos and anarchy in all the cities of Greece… Alexis is now an integral part of this history; I don’t know what would have happened if events had happened differently, or furthermore, whether it is more than the inner spirit of the wounded. But I can tell you about what Alexis was before he was dead from the cop’s bullets. In his short but adventurous life he lived authentically, he was a young insurgent fascinated with the idea of anarchy like those who now occupy the city streets hurling Molotov cocktails at cops and burning police cars, he was unruly and stubborn, he was an honest person with a kind soul and selfless motives in everything he did. He was a person who lived his passions and frustrations intensely…”  Nikos Romanos  “Requiem for a Journey of No Return” 29/11/2015

Seventeen years have passed since the murder of the anarchist student Alexis Grigoropoulos in Exarcheia by the cops Korkoneas and Saraliotis, at the intersection of Messologgiou and Tzavella. The location, as well as what happened over the hours and days that followed, was not coincidental. Already before the bloody night of December 6, 2008, Exarcheia was a reference point for all those who wanted to question authority and the apparent omnipotence of the State and capital. The countless clashes with the forces of repression at the Polytechnic, the square, at Messologgiou Square and in every corner of the neighbourhood, the squats, and all the social and class struggles that took place in Exarcheia together composed a mosaic of resistance and social anti-violence against the voracious engine of power that wants to destroy every dream and desire of those below.

Indonesian Update 11.29.25 , and letter from some imprisoned comrades from the ‘Chaos Star’ case

11.29.25

Conditions inside police detention:

– From the very beginning, this case hasn’t been handled only by regular police and the Cyber Crime unit, but also by Densus 88 (the special anti-terrorism/anti-makar squad). Makar is Indonesian term for “inciting an action or planning to overthrow the government”).

– Most of the arrested anarchists have already started going through trials and have been moved to Kebon Waru prison.

Eat (Reyhard Rumbayan) still has zero info about when his trial will happen. He’s the only one who’s been interrogated by Densus 88 — they see him as the “mastermind” behind everything related to the anarchist stuff.

– There are basically three types of charges being thrown at the detainees: (1) the brains behind the scenes, (2) the instigators, (3) the ones who got instigated. Of course, that’s because the state can’t wrap its head around the idea that spontaneous actions can happen without any leader — that concept just doesn’t exist in state logic.

European and International Corporate Targets – Indonesia

Several multi-national companies operate and invest in Indonesia, such as Shell, BP, Unilever, Rolls Royce and GlaxoSmithKline, who have a large presence. In UK, Standard Chartered bank have investments in Indonesia and so does Prudential Plc. Other UK-based companies operating are Arup, Mott MacDonald and PwC.

The largest multinational bank operating in Indonesia is HSBC, which is a suitable target for coordinated action since it has branches and offices across the globe. We propose that where appropriate, individuals in each territory and region, should research which companies are operating in Indonesia, circulate and make that information and take direct action in solidarity with the prisoners of the anti-authoritarian mass uprising.

On repression for the weekend, 14th–16th November 2025 in Hamburg.en/it.

On repression

„I would rather die a lion than live the life of a dog“ – on the
repression against the 2nd international exchange against military
service and for the refusal of all militarism in Hamburg

„I’d rather die a lion…“ With these words, Emma Goldman in 1917
confronted the globally spreading militarism and spoke up against
conscription. More than a hundred years later, we are facing another
episode of massive militarization, hand in hand with new and ongoing wars and genocides.

Last weekend, 14th–16th November 2025, anarchists from different countries met for the second time for an international exchange to analyze, debate, and develop anti-militarist struggles. Contributions in person, via video, and in writing from comrades in the UK, Greece, Israel/Palestine, Italy, France, Finland, and Germany were presented. As we can easily understand, the enemies of freedom and their dogs are surely not fond of an international moment like this. Besides surveillance around our meeting, we want to make one incident known:
