We Are All Puppeteers: 42 People from Anti-Authoritarian Networks Named as Suspects After Demonstrations
"From August 25 to September 5, Indonesia was a sea of fire. A wave of simultaneous demonstrations ended in street battles, the burning of government buildings and police stations, and the looting of politicians’ homes. A total of 3,195 people were detained in various locations during this period. This does not include subsequent arrests."
"Finally, on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, the West Java Regional Police held a press conference announcing 42 suspects involved in acts of vandalism in Bandung. However, they were all the result of a nationwide investigation and arrests carried out as far as Jombang and Makassar. They were accused of being anarchists."

What a nice surprise!! Right now I'm sitting on the train and on my way to an event as part of the International Week for Anarchist Prisoners.
There I find you here on Mastodon with the news of my release exactly two years ago. Later, at an event in Wuppertal, which is in North Rhine-Westphalia, I will talk about the prison term and the importance of solidarity.
I have been able to do this again and again in the last two years, and I have also held various workshops on 'How do I write prisoners' (it is important to me that it is about all prisoners, not just the political and anarchist ones).
In addition, I regularly attend trials, with a focus on class justice. For a small non-commercial radio, I then report on the court cases.
However, I would not have been able to do all this without the solidarity support. Neither would I have managed to survive the 27 years in prison, nor would I have been able to arrive in freedom in life afterwards.

Marius Mason’s 2025 Statement for June 11
"So…these times are a challenge to any who desire real freedom, who passionately espouse justice and who honor and respect human dignity – and who persist in the belief that we are responsible for each other and to each other and our shared home, this Earth. The strength to face this challenge will come from solidarity…this is always our secret weapon against the venal brutalities of fascism."

In December 2023, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) announced the arrest of a dual Russian-Italian citizen accused of attacking a military airfield and sabotaging a railway line. The suspect was Ruslan Sidiki, a 36-year-old anarchist, long-distance cyclist, and electrician. Now in pretrial detention, he faces a potential life sentence.
...
Sidiki does not consider himself a political prisoner but rather a prisoner of war. In his view, his actions were part of the larger conflict between Russia and Ukraine.“My actions fall under the definition of ‘sabotage,’ not ‘terrorism,’” he argued. “I never intended to instill fear in civilians. My goal was to destroy aircraft so they couldn’t be used to bomb, to destroy railways so they couldn’t be used to transport weapons.”

Am 16. Juli wurde ich von zwei Personen verhört – von einem Mann in Zivilkleidung und einem anderen in einer Art inoffizieller Tarnuniform. Einer der Ermittler interessierte sich für die Aktivitäten der Soros-Stiftung in der Ukraine und wollte, dass ich einigen namentlich nicht genannten „angesehenen internationalen Medien“ ein Interview gebe, um darüber zu berichten. Ich sagte ihm, dass ich kein Interview geben wolle, aber wenn man mich dazu zwingen würde, könnte ich ihm sagen, was ich wüsste: dass der ukrainische Zweig der Stiftung Projekte in den Bereichen Dezentralisierung, Kommunalverwaltung, Rechtshilfe und wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen unterstützt. Ihm gefiel das ganze Gespräch nicht sonderlich, und da hörte ich es zum ersten Mal: „Wir werden dich ins Gefängnis stecken.“
…
Bei einer der sogenannten Ermittlungsmaßnahmen sagte ein Beamter des Ermittlungskomitees der Russischen Föderation, dass die ukrainische Seite Russen wegen „illegalen Überschreitens der Staatsgrenze durch eine organisierte Gruppe von bewaffneten Personen mit dem Ziel, einen Teil des Territoriums zugunsten eines anderen Staates abzutrennen“ zu langen Haftstrafen verurteilt. Dafür und für Kriegsverbrechen würden lange Haftstrafen verhängt. Und deshalb, so sagten sie, müssten sie uns zu ähnlich langen Haftstrafen verurteilen, damit ihre Armeeangehörigen ausgetauscht werden könnten.Max Butkevych, „Die größte Gefahr in der Gefangenschaft besteht darin, einen Teil seiner selbst zu verlieren“ https://ukraineverstehen.de/die-groesste-gefahr-in-der-gefangenschaft-besteht-darin-einen-teil-seiner-selbst-zu-verlieren/

Raising funds for young antifascist prisoners of Russia :antifa: :anarchoheart2: :boostRequest:
Parents of two Chita antifascists, Lyubov Lizunova and Sasha Snezhkov, are raising funds to pay legal expenses for the appeal against the recent court sentence. Sasha’s mum is a single parent, she had suffered two strokes and cannot afford to cover the legal expenses. Lyubov’s parents have also been struggling to cover the costs of legal counselling the past two years, Russian cells of ABC were helping them previously.
Total sum is €4,400: Sasha needs €2,000 for legal expenses, Lyubov — €1,200. Both of them also need €600 each to cover the parcel expenses for the next 4 months.
This April, Lyubov was sentenced to three and a half years of corrective penal colony, and Sasha’s—to six years of corrective penal colony.
In Oct 2022, the two were detained and charged with vandalism and “calls for terrorism and infringing territorial integrity” (the last one’s later changed to “calls for extremism”). Sasha has spent nearly all this time in a detention center. Lyubov, then a minor, remained on house arrest up until this April, then put into custody. You can learn more about their case and their lives before it in this short film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CzBS871_l8 (choose auto-translation of subs from Russian)

Let’s Get Francisco Out of Isolation: Campaign and Week of Agitation for Francisco Solar
#FranciscoSolar #AnarchistPrisoners
Via @lazarzamora -
🔴SAQUEMOS A FRANCISCO DEL AISLAMIENTO: CAMPAÑA Y SEMANA DE AGITACIÓN POR FRANCISCO SOLAR
Por: La Zarzamora
El aislamiento extremo en el que gendarmería mantiene al compañero anarquista Francisco Solar, condenado a 86 años de prisión por accionar contra el poder, ha despertado una serie de acciones solidarias que buscan informar sobre su situación y sacarlo definitivamente de este régimen, que se suma a la larga condena que no es más que una cadena perpetua disfrazada. Ante esto, desde el grupo de apoyo a Francisco se hace el llamado a sumarse a la campaña que busca su salida del aislamiento, así como también a participar de una semana de agitación sin fronteras desde el 10 al 17 de agosto.
Francisco fue trasladado en junio del 2021 junto a otros compañeros a la cárcel La Gonzalina de Rancagua debido a la remodelación de la CAS. A su ingreso es ubicado en el módulo 2 de alta seguridad, correspondiente a su condición en ese momento de procesado y el resto de los compañeros ubicados en el módulo 1, que corresponde a los condenados. Sin embargo, tras ser condenado a 86 años el 7 de diciembre del 2023, Francisco no fue trasladado a un módulo de condenados, manteniéndose hasta hoy sin contacto con el resto de los compañeros presos. A esto se le suma la agudización del régimen de aislamiento al que lleva sometido ya 4 años, que le mantiene 21 horas al día en el encierro y 3 horas diarias fuera de este...
"Estamos hablando de un módulo de aislamiento severo, de un régimen de control y vigilancia total, estamos hablando en definitiva de una cárcel dentro de una cárcel, uno de los regímenes más severos carcelarios en este territorio, donde la maquinaria punitiva y de tortura de la cual son parte las prisiones, se expresa en todas sus formas». Explican desde el grupo de apoyo a Francisco Solar.

Call for International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners 2024 // 23 – 30 August

Today is #MaksymButkevych’s birthday, his third one in Russian captivity.
An antifascist, anarchist and human rights organizer, he was captured as a combatant defending his country from military invasion. His whereabouts were unknown up until 10 month later when a court in occupied Luhansk sentenced him to 13 years on fabricated charges. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/odr/ukraine-maksym-butkevych-conviction-severodonetsk-luhansk/
Maksym is doing his time in a penitentiary—once a Ukrainian colony—in Krasnyi Luch, Luhanschina. He reads a lot and tries not to loose his French skills. I hope to see him out of prison as soon as possible—as well as all other captured Ukrainians, both combatants and non-combatans.
His story is widely known in Ukraine, but not so much in left or anarchist spaces outside the region. You can express support to him by including his story in the programme of your local event on the occasion of this year’s International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners in August. Also, comrades in Russian jurisdiction (like me) can send your kind words by letter.
Until all are free!

Michael Kimble’s 2024 Statement:
Revolutionary Greetings Family
First, I’d like to give a brief rundown on my situation. Recently, I was able to hire an attorney to file a Rule 32 Petition seeking a sentence reduction. Thank you for all the generous contributions for my legal defense. I’m hoping that I’ll be out there with you all this year.
Things have escalated to a degree that Alabama prisons have been designated as the most dangerous prison system in the U.S. due to the high number of prisoner deaths from suicide, overdosing on drugs and homicides. At Donaldson prison where I’m being held captive there has been at least thirty prisoner deaths or more here since I arrived in 2021. And these slimy, greedy muthafuckas are committing atrocities in these prisons against human beings and low-intensity warfare via the drug epidemic, psychotropic and illicit drugs. Just a month ago it was reported on the local news that the warden of Limestone prison and his wife were both arrested for smuggling Fentanyl into the prison. In the same segment it was reported that the organs of deceased prisoners were missing from their bodies. If no other reasons other than the atrocities mentioned above, prisons should be abolished. Police do not stop crime, nor do prisons deter crime or I’m sure there would be less humans held captive by the state.
We, anarchist prisoners who are queer/trans are catching pure hell in Alabama prisons. We are being oppressed, repressed, and suppressed in many ways. We are arbitrarily being psychologically and physically abused and discriminated against by this system of oppression, pig administration and backward thinking prisoners. We do what we need to survive but staying true to our anarchist principles. And mostly without any help or support from the outside. When prison administrators see that we have support and solidarity from outside comrades, and movements, they back the fuck up in many ways.
We are abolitionists and “abolition is not impossible”. In the words of my comrade Sean Swain, “it may be inevitable. It may be happening all on its own right now and only needs us to help it occur a little faster. What can be done? Well, it isn’t brain science or rocket surgery. Imagine yourself the person in charge of these vast and sprawling complexes. Ask yourself, what would you NOT want to see happen? Then do that. Consider, all industrial complexes are dependent upon logistical networks or administrative offices and warehouses and suppliers and distributors to keep these complexes operating. None of these are behind impenetrable walls or fences; none of them are under armed guard by an army. All of them are vulnerable and fragile and flammable. Every location has parking lots. Every vehicle in every parking lot is vulnerable and fragile and flammable. Every vehicle has tires, and enters and exits the lots through choke-points that are, themselves, vulnerable. Perhaps with imagination we can develop low-risk and high-yield methods of making these complexes completely unmanageable, ushering in an era where they no longer exist. A great resource that re-imagines abolition is available at detroitabc.org. We own the future. The more we do, the faster it gets here.”
There is no time to act than now!
There’s always something you can do that’s simple and easy to reproduce. Thank you all for doing what you do. It inspires, excites and keeps me fighting. Only love and solidarity, and a perfect hate for oppression in all its manifestations can smash the state!

Marius Mason Needs Urgent Support:
Marius Mason is an activist serving a 22 year sentence after being found guilty of arson at a laboratory and on logging equipment.
Marius was approved for gender affirming care in 2022 when he was moved to FCI Danbury, a male prison. He was then transported to FMC Fort Worth where he was supposed to get gender affirming surgery, but he was informed that the health company contracted by the prison was unwilling to perform a hysterectomy. Marius’ doctor has informed him that there are indications of an early onset of cancer on his uterus, yet the facility is unable to provide the care he deserves.
His support team has drafted a letter that they are asking to print and post to put pressure and show support. Please, read the words below, grab a stamp and print the letter.
Let’s show solidarity to Marius and fight for his health as fearsome as he has fought for our planet.
“Please copy and paste in to your own document, print and send to:
Director Collette Peters
Federal Bureau of Prisons
320 First Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20534Dear Director Peters:
Thank you for prioritizing the rehabilitative purpose and programming of the BOP in your role as Director. It was encouraging to see the Transgender Policy Manual posted again, after years of being unavailable on the FBOP site when you came into office. I appreciate the atmosphere of respect, acceptance and safety fostered at the highest level under your administration for all LGBTQIA+ people currently in the carceral system.I am writing today to call attention to the situation of Marius Mason (née Marie Mason, #04672-061). Mason has been approved by the FBOP for gender-affirming surgery since 2022. He was transferred from FCI Danbury, a male facility, and after living there for two years, he was transported to FMC Fort Worth, where he was to undergo gender affirming surgery. This was the culmination of a 10-year process, beginning in 2013 when Mason asked to be considered for the new transgender medical policy, after a lawsuit created a pathway to medical transition.
However, Mason was informed at a meeting with Dr. Mercado (the Health Services Administrator), Mr. Strickland and Mason’s therapist, Dr. Bartholomew on 5/24/24 that despite having been approved for surgery, the health services contractor that was working for FMC Fort Worth was not willing to provide gender-affirming hysterectomy. It is our understanding that there are in fact local medical professionals who can perform this procedure, without which the other surgeries will be delayed.
Also at this same meeting, Mason was informed that test results from a prior ultrasound had revealed that there was indications of an early onset of cancer in his uterus, and a further test was being ordered to confirm this possible result. If indeed Marius requires a hysterectomy due to uterine cancer, we hope this will be carried out with all possible speed.
I am asking that you please investigate the apparent refusal of a contracted health care to provide care to a trans prisoner, and also to ensure that this denial and delay do not endanger Mason’s health and safety or delay the approved care long enough to prevent it being fulfilled. Thank you for continuing to be an ally to LGBTQIA+ prisoners in the Federal system.
Sincerely,”
