Anarchists in Indonesia are calling for international support for comrades imprisoned and tortured following the August uprisings. In the wake of mass protests against corruption and inequality, around 900 people are being detained and named as suspects, many of them anarchists or sympathisers, spread across various cities.
The latest solidarity call named over 40 anarchists arrested in West Java, accused of being part of the so-called “Chaos Star” network, which the government describes as a “foreign-backed anarchist group”.
