INDONESIA – Update on the Trials of Bandung Anarchist Prisoners (Chaos Star Case)

Posted on 2026/04/18 by darknights

Death to the State and Long Live Anarchy

On April 16, 2026, the verdicts were delivered for five of our comrades at the Bandung District Court. The details are as follows:

* Albi: sentenced to 6 months in prison for the Bandung unrest in August–September 2026.

* Pem: sentenced to 9 months in prison for the arson attack on the police post in Gentong, West Java.

* Herdi: sentenced to 9 months in prison for the arson attack on the police post in Gentong, West Java.

* Nopal: sentenced to 1 year in prison for the arson attack on the police post in Gentong, West Java.

* Adit: sentenced to 1 year in prison for the arson attack on the police post in Gentong, West Java.

Also, the first trial of our comrade Dena, also known as Apip or Scoobydoomz, has been postponed and is now scheduled for April 24, 2026.

This trial marks the beginning of proceedings against comrades involved in the arson of Hana Bank during protests against the Indonesian Military Bill in March 2025. Adit, Nopal, and Jalus may face further trials for separate charges.

Note:
Adit and Nopal have already faced two trials on different charges, and the combined sentences they currently face total three years in prison, not including the upcoming verdict for the Hana Bank arson in Bandung.

Gregorius Hugo, also known as Bake or Bex (informant), received only 7 months and 15 days—a sentence that can be considered virtually a free pass due to time already served in police and prosecution custody. This light sentence, despite his key involvement in the Gentong case, confirms his role as an informant/dead fucking snitch and his cooperation with the authorities! We advise international networks to cut ties with him.

For anarchy and the black international!

Defence Statement of Adit, Anarchist Prisoner in Chaos Star Case (Indonesia)

Posted on 2026/04/15 by darknights

Your Honorable Panel of Judges,

After everything that has happened regarding the act of violence I committed in the case of the burning of this police post, I have gained many things that I must take upon myself. About how the state —long before what I did— has carried out acts of violence on a far greater scale.

To be honest, after the defense I presented in the case of the August 2025 demonstration was rejected, everything feels pointless. My defense in the previous trial was already very long, explaining everything in great detail. Yet my suspicion that the verdict had been determined from the beginning only grew stronger when the decision was finally struck with the gavel. The state has sentenced me to two years in prison, and now the state demands again that I be given the same sentence. And for that, I only have very little room to defend the violence that I have committed.

It has become an open secret that all forms of violence and abuse of power by state apparatus —(read: the police)— have produced forms of human rights violations. One of the most severe and intolerable is the taking of human life. The Commission for the Disappeared and Victims of Violence (KontraS) recorded 602 incidents of violence involving members of the Indonesian National Police from July 2024 to June 2025. From the Kanjuruhan tragedy, Randi and Yusuf, Afif Maulana, Gamma, Affan Kurniawan, Arianto Tawakkal, to Eko Prasetyo—the most recent—killed by the police.

INDONESIA – Trial Update on Comrade Komar in Surabaya (Chaos Star Case)

Posted on 2026/04/15 by darknights

After being arrested by the West Java Police in September 2025 and serving a six-month sentence at Kebon Waru Prison in Bandung, Comrade Komar was once again arrested by the Surabaya City Police on March 9, 2026, under charges of incitement. The new charges stem from different documents related to protests in Surabaya during August-September 2025, as well as involvement with the Black Bloc Zone account on social media.

It is worth noting that during his trial in Bandung, Comrade Komar had already disclosed that his actions did not meet the criteria for criminal offenses.

On Thursday, April 16, 2026, Comrade Komar will face his first hearing at the Surabaya District Court. Let us show solidarity for Komar, and for all anarchist prisoners in Indonesia.

Italy: “The roses, where are the roses?”. Chronicles and reflections on the displays of affection for Sara and Sandro and on the anti-Mafia movement as a counter-insurgency mechanism

Posted on 2026/04/14 by darknights

“THE ROSES, WHERE ARE THE ROSES?”
Chronicles and reflections on expressions of affection for Sara and Sandro, and on the anti-Mafia movement as a tool for counter-insurgency

During the night of Thursday 19th to Friday 20th March, a loud bang shook the neighbourhoods of eastern Rome near the Parco degli Acquedotti; inside the park, an explosion caused part of an abandoned farmhouse to collapse. The explosion and the collapse killed two of our comrades, Sara and Sandro. Their unwavering consistency between idea and action led them to take risks and cross the line between life and death.

Following this tragic event, the state attempted to take possession of their bodies, with the aim of rewriting their history; of concealing the love, respect and fraternity that surrounded them; of erasing their ideas and of erasing the proof that it is possible to act against this system.
It is possible that their bodies were located and identified in the hours immediately following the explosion, but the news of their deaths was kept hidden for a long time and only released in the afternoon via the mass media, through which everyone, including their families, learned of the tragic event. The State was thus able to decide how to tell this story, how to describe the two comrades, attempting to impose its own narrative on everyone and manage the affair according to its own ends.
If one of the aims they had set themselves was to secure a dissociation from our comrades and their disavowal, this could never have happened for the simple reason that these wretched loopholes never belonged to us.
Immediately, numerous statements were issued clarifying that Sara and Sandro are our comrades, comrades who were known, respected and loved, comrades who fell in action.

At this point, the state attempted to seize their bodies, holding them for days, thereby venting a belated vengeance against those prey who had never been captured and had now escaped forever from the courts and prisons.
Their bodies were suddenly released, and the families were forced to bury them immediately. This haste was intended to make it difficult for those who wished to pay their last respects, to make the two comrades appear as isolated and abandoned individuals, and to try to prevent this farewell from becoming an occasion for public commemoration of their figures, or for the vindication of their ideas and deeds.

Athens, Greece: Arson Attack on the Home of the Snitch Dean of NTUA and a Riot Police Officer

Posted on 2026/04/09 - 2026/04/09 by darknights

National Gendarmerie of Athens

In the early hours of March 25, we attacked with an incendiary device the building where the dean of the NTUA, Panagiotis Tsanakas, as well as a riot police officer, live in the area of Zografou. Our research on the chief snitch of the academic rabble of the Polytechnic brought us in front of a simultaneously special but poetically explainable coincidence. A snitch and a cop work and live together, a touching image to say the least.

Tsanakas is not simply the tsuchiki [contemptuous address for a person we consider vile and insignificant] of Hadjigeorgiou (rector of NTUA) but as the culmination of his “academic” work he has shamelessly handed over to the police a student who was writing slogans in favor of the Palestinian people on the school grounds. However, he has a deeper and more essential role in Hadjigeorgiou’s police-held monstrosity, of a rectory that allows/imposes the daily presence and the scolding of cops on campus in full compliance and obedience to the dictates of the ND doctrine for absolute control and essentially the necrosis of student and subversive struggles on university campuses. A rectorate that we have lost count of how many times has ordered the invasion of the repressive forces on the university grounds, with a particular “sensitivity” when it comes to those in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.

Of course, Hadjigeorgiou has an additional reason to fervently desire the presence of cops on the NTUA grounds beyond serving the government’s planning. He uses them as doormen and henchmen who guard the “shop” that he has built in future collaborations on NATO programs and Jewish arms industries. Just the day after the attack, we read that a way has been found through opaque procedures and individual opinions of legal advisors to declare unconstitutional (!) Article 2 of the Funding and Management Guide of the Special Research Funds Account (ELKE), which concerns the NTUA and explicitly states “…The history of the NTUA is connected to struggles for freedom and peace. For this reason, the NTUA is not allowed to conduct or participate in research for war purposes of any kind, with the exception of research for the country’s defense needs, and no research funded by international military coalitions is undertaken.” Let us recall that the above constitutes a conquest of the anti-war movement of the era of the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO forces in 1999. Of course, as early as October 2023, in the midst of the genocide of the Palestinians of Gaza by the Israeli army, with the signatures of Hadjigeorgiou and Dean Panagiotis Tsanakas, a memorandum of cooperation between the NTUA and Intracom Telecom was signed. It is therefore obvious (unless you are a lobotomist) that the results of the university’s research in this collaboration are channeled to 2 subsidiaries of Intracom Telecom, Intracom Defense and Intracom Aviator, which actively cooperate with the Israeli army and its genocidal activities in the wider Middle East.

Athens, Greece: Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger”

Posted on 2026/04/09 by darknights

Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger”

In March, none of us shall die (March 2010, Daphne – Lambros Fountas, an anarchist guerrilla who fell in a clash with cops) – (March 2026, outskirts of Rome – Sara Ardizone and Sandro Mercoliano, anarchist comrades who were killed by an explosion)

In October, none of us shall die (October 2024, Ampelokipi, Athens – Kyriakos Xymitiris, anarchist guerrilla killed by explosion)

In May, none of us shall die (May 2025, Thessaloniki – Snizanna Paraskevaidou, fell in an explosion during an attack on a bank)

And the story continues like this. Through the battles of our own people, simple, everyday. Like Lambros, like Kyriakos, like Snizanna, like Sandro and Sara and so many more people who lost their lives in direct action.With determination, with our own rage and memory, we took to the streets at dawn on March 10, the date that the anarchist revolutionary guerrilla Lambros Fountas fell fighting under fire from cops in Daphne 16 years ago and we attacked a cop’s house in Kaisariani with an incendiary device.

We have every reason to target the state’s scumbags who act as security guards for the bosses and the ruling elite. With this move, we want to remind them and all cops that we will not leave their activity unpunished. They are the ones who target fighters, violently attack demonstrators, torture and murder people in cop stations, at borders, as well as people from the impoverished margins and our own class. Let them remember and know that we can also locate them in their homes, in their neighbourhoods, in their jobs and that they are not really safe anywhere in making this choice to serve the system.

It is a fact that the state invests in order and security by strengthening policing at every level of central government. In this way, it prevents any resistance from below on behalf of capital as much as possible, while at the same time strengthening military-police capital through funds for security forces and armament programs. This is a phenomenon that is parallel in relation to the international geopolitical situation. As the war intensifies abroad (Middle East, Ukraine) and the Greek state participates in it through the Greek-Israeli-American alliance, NATO and the EU, so does the repression at home. Cops of all kinds are positioned to control our lives. The same applies to every field of public space from universities to neighbourhoods, squares and other natural sites (see Exarchia Square, Strefi Hill).

So, let fear change sides then. No matter how much the complicit and regime-based mass deception media cover you up by hiding our actions, we know the anxiety that these visits to your homes cause you. If you don’t pack up, we will come again. Our lives are not expendable. We want to show that you are the terrorists and dangerous to the public interest, not us who return the minimum percentage of your share of violence.

We express our solidarity with the Palestinian people who are fighting for their lives. Let us intensify the anti-war action against the war crimes occurring in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran by the Western bloc. We will not become meat for the murderers’ cannons because the local leaders, with Mitsotakis and Dendias as the first and best, rushed to ally with Netanyahu and Trump.

The choice to connect these contents through action on the day of remembrance of the anarchist guerrilla Lambros Fountas constitutes a connecting link between memory, action and continuity.

Czech Rep: This book is not evidence

Posted on 2026/04/09 by darknights

I have finally been acquitted of several criminal charges brought against me by the police on the basis of dubious speculation. The acquittal ruling states:

“(…) the court finds that no evidence was presented that would lead to the identification of the perpetrator, and thus to the proof of the defendant’s guilt. The defendant’s guilt has not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, as required by Section 2(5) of the Criminal Procedure Code. These doubts are fundamental, logical, and insurmountable, as the expert opinions confirmed that the perpetrator cannot be identified by any scientific method.”

What made this court case unusual was that the prosecutor tried to use my book “Tato kniha není (z)boží” (This Book Is Not a Commodity) against me However, the court ultimately ruled that this book does not constitute evidence.

The JUDGMENT IN THE NAME OF THE REPUBLIC states:

“During the presentation of evidence, it became apparent that some of the materials included in the criminal case file by the police, the prosecutor, and subsequently the appellate court are clearly unrelated to the offense in question or to the identity of the defendant. This concerns, in particular, certain publications, ideological texts, or other documents whose only common feature is that they could be linked to the defendant and his views. However, according to the trial court, these materials are not criminally relevant. They do not prove any specific intent, any connection to the act committed, nor do they relate to the objective aspect of the act under consideration. Their content is merely of a general political or critical nature, is not directed at any specific individual, and has no connection to the proceedings at hand. The court therefore finds that the aforementioned materials in the case file have no place in the evidentiary proceedings within these criminal proceedings. They are not forensic evidence, they are not circumstantial evidence, and they cannot serve as supporting arguments for inferring the perpetrator’s ideological profile. As the Constitutional Court has repeatedly ruled, criminal proceedings are not a tool for assessing an individual’s personality traits or political views, and such materials certainly cannot serve as a basis for a finding of guilt or a decision on guilt.” Continue reading “Czech Rep: This book is not evidence” →
