Solidarity with the rebels in Indonesia by Anarchist collective Acte

 Solidarity with the rebels in Indonesia

During the summer, mass protests took place in various parts of Indonesia against new austerity measures, tax increases and salary increases for members of parliament, whose salaries are 30 times higher than the minimum wage.

On August 28, during a protest rally, an armoured police vehicle runs over 21-year-old Affan Kurniawan, killing him. Affan worked as a delivery boy and was on his way to deliver food. After that, an unprecedented uprising broke out across the country. Police stations were destroyed, local parliaments and government buildings were burned, and politicians’ homes were looted. To buy time, the state declared that it would reduce the privileges of the political elite while at the same time intensifying repression and bringing the army on to the streets. So far, there have been 10 dead, dozens missing, hundreds injured, and thousands arrested. Despite government promises and repression, the flame of the uprising does not seem to be extinguished.

 

The mass protests and clashes in Indonesia are a bright reminder to the oppressed of this world that even in the most difficult times and under the harshest regimes, the vision of freedom and equality cannot be stifled. In the dozens of uprisings in recent years across the planet, the vision of a better world breathes life.

It is crucial to intensify the struggle on a global level. To build relationships of solidarity and comradeship beyond the limitations of borders, to exchange experiences, to learn from each other, to fight side by side against all authority. To spread the flame of rebellion across the planet, to the global social revolution, to the end of all authority. To the creation of a world of solidarity, equality, freedom, to Anarchy.

Responding to the call of our comrades from Palang Hitam Anarkis, we held an intervention with banners and tricolors at the Indonesian embassy on Thursday, September 11.

From Indonesia to Nepal, solidarity with the rebels.

From Indonesia to Palestine, may the flame of rebellion spread across the entire earth.

ps:  3.8.25 ABC Indonesia: International call for solidarity to the arrested, disappeared and killed in the ongoing uprising

Palang Hitam / ABC Indonesia asks if it is possible to organise solidarity demonstration/action at the Indonesian embassies in foreign countries. We ask comrades from various countries for help.

The mass uprising in Indonesia is facing severe repression. Dozens of people are confirmed missing, at least 6 people have been killed. Many are injured. Thousands of people have been arrested. Police have been attacking the universities. Police and army check points are setting up everywhere. Many people are being arrested for live streamings and counter-info blogs and social medias are being tracked and comrades arrested. NGOs, liberal/left unions and student union stewards are helping the repression.

Solidarity is our weapon
