The Chaos Star Case (Indonesia)
Now, after the riots, the police have arrested many people, including anarchists egoist/nihilists, but most of them are victims of wrongful arrest who did not even participate in the demonstrations. They are accused of being masterminds, provocateurs, intellectual actors, and are labeled as “groups of chaos stars.” Meanwhile, the members of DPR such as Ahmad Sahroni, who sparked public outrage, remain in office and have not been dismissed. Recently, the DPR passed a revision to the Criminal Procedure Code that allows police officers to arrest people without evidence and to secretly wiretap, record, and tamper with digital devices.

Anti-Ice Defendants (USA)
“The superseding indictment makes unproven claims, mischaracterizes facts, and takes quotes out of context,” said Stephanie Shiver, wife of defendant Meagan Morris. “Claims of adherence to a political ideology like anti-fascism, whether true or not, are not grounds to charge someone with terrorism and do not belong in an indictment,” continued Shiver. “By associating the Prairieland case with Antifa, the government is using terrorism charges to spread fear and intimidation, and to carry out sweeping political repression.” More information: https://darknights.noblogs.org/post/tag/prairieland-ice-detention-center/

Why We Must Never Abandoned Our Comrades
Supporting comrades in prison not merely as a charitable act, but as a crucial component of revolutionary struggle and operational security. Their perspective emphasizes that prisoner solidarity is an extension of the fight against the prison-industrial complex and the state itself.
Solidarity as Defense: Supporting incarcerated comrades is essential to fighting against state repression. CrimethInc. emphasizes that “solidarity means attack,” treating the support of prisoners as a form of continued struggle against the systems that put them there.
Preventing Isolation: Prison is designed to show contempt for the prisoner’s humanity and isolate them, making communication with the outside world a vital act of resistance.
Global Solidarity: They promote a “global view of repression,” advocating for, and participating in, initiatives like the annual week of solidarity with anarchist prisoners, which connects struggles across different countries and continents.
Material and Emotional Support: Solidarity includes practical actions such as writing letters, sending funds for supplies, and organizing support groups.
Combating State Intimidation: The state uses arrests and imprisonment to spread fear, aiming to convince activists not to trust each other or act at all. Supporting those in jail is a direct response to this intimidation, maintaining connection despite surveillance.
Protecting Movements: Solidarity helps maintain the health of movement communities, ensuring that those targeted by the state are not left alone, which strengthens the resolve of all involved.

Anti-Info contributions by anarchists of the Chaos Star case (Indonesia)
Hello comrades, warm greetings from Bandung to Bristol. We introduce ourselves as prisoners from what is known as the “Chaos Star.” This correspondence carries fragments of memory from years marked by chaos, surveillance, and arrests. We send this message from behind the bars of a prison in—so called—Indonesia. We are currently serving sentences related to the August 2025 unrest, the pipe bomb attack on a police post in December 2024, and the destruction of Bank Hana during the anti–TNI Bill protests in March and May Day 2025.
The unrest last August became the largest manhunt against activists and anarchists since 1998. This year, 703 political prisoners—although we reject that label—are still undergoing legal processes or are detained. We prefer to be called Anarchist Prisoners rather than Political Prisoners. This is an issue we want to critique. The label “political prisoner” places us within certain relations of power: we are framed as symbols of resistance, victims or survivors of a regime, or tools for legitimizing particular political agendas. Instead, we are Anarchist Prisoners. We reject the very foundation of politics itself. Our emphasis is on the autonomy of the subject and individual disobedience, without serving any project or representation tied to political agendas. By using the label Anarchist Prisoners, we assert a distance from the language of power and maintain a position outside the political field that seeks to regulate, define, and justify everything.

why prison abolition
t’s time to stop talking about reforming prisons and to start working for their complete abolition. That means basically three things:
First, admitting that prisons can’t be reformed, since the very nature of prisons requires brutality and contempt for the people imprisoned.
Second, recognizing that prisons are used mainly to punish poor and working class people, and forcing the courts to give equal justice to all citizens.
Third, replacing prisons with a variety of alternative programs. We must protect the public from the few really dangerous people who now go to prison. But more important, we must enable all convicted persons to escape the poverty which is the root cause of the crimes the average person fears most: crimes such as robbery, burglary, mugging or rape. more: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/prison-research-education-action-project-instead-of-prisons
