 [We will populate this page over the coming Days with content from a

variety of (mostly) anarchistic sources, we shall be organising them on
the main focus of their discussion. If you have any suggestions for
this, please contact is and let us know. ---- We have split this page
into sections: A brief update, Important Links, Protest Art, and Photos.
FA]---- The uprising against the authoritarian over reach of the
Indonesian government has been one in blossom over the past two years
with large scale revolutionary action taking place across the nation's
array of islands and wide range of cultures and communities. These
actions have been organised by groups across the political spectrum with
anarchists and adjecent individuals and collectives being a grass root
element across the board.

In Pejompongan, Jakarta, on 28 August during a labour demonstration, the
police ran down and killed Affan Kurniawan, a hard working and well
liked delivery driver. The footage is horrific, the action inexcusable.
It was a murder in front of thousands. The country erupted in grief and
anger leading to the ongoing state of play. Moments decribed by our
local correspondant as "by far the most anarchistic national revolt for
decades".

Over the past few days, palaces have been ransacked, the halls of
government put to the torch, police have used live ammunition and yet
the people, young punks and mothers, tradies and shop keepers, they keep
filling the streets and refusing to take it.

At time of writing seven have died during this uprising:
Affan Kurniawan
Sarina Wati
Saiful Akbar
Muhammad Akbar Basri
Rheza Sendy Pratama
Sumari
Rusdamdiansyah

May their passing never be forgotten.

Indonesia: Situation Update for September 1

The situation calmed down somewhat last night, but protests have resumed
with renewed vigor: Clashes in Ternate, Senin, and Palopo - Tense
situation in Bandung, Makassar, Siantar, etc. The government is
considering the application of martial law. Clashes continue in Kaltim,
Aceh, Sukabumi, Binjai, and Gorontalo.

The level of repression is increasing with the deployment of police
forces and the infiltration of plainclothes officers. Since August 25,
at least six people have died and 3,000 people have been arrested.
Clashes at Unisba University in Bandung yesterday evening, where police
entered the campus.

"A Makassar toll officer couldn't help but cry hysterically after seeing
his guard post damaged and burned."

As Anarchists around the world, as we might delight in cathertic
jouissance, inspiring moments, movements, and people, we must also
keenly educate ourselves and those around us, speaking beyond and
through the riot porn, to share the politics and struggle of our
comrades in Indonesia and where possible contribute material and
political solidarity, which will help see them through to victory and an
end to the violent authoritarian brutality of the government they fight.
