After being arrested by the West Java Police in September 2025 and serving a six-month sentence at Kebon Waru Prison in Bandung, Comrade Komar was once again arrested by the Surabaya City Police on March 9, 2026, under charges of incitement. The new charges stem from different documents related to protests in Surabaya during August-September 2025, as well as involvement with the Black Bloc Zone account on social media.
It is worth noting that during his trial in Bandung, Comrade Komar had already disclosed that his actions did not meet the criteria for criminal offenses.
On Thursday, April 16, 2026, Comrade Komar will face his first hearing at the Surabaya District Court. Let us show solidarity for Komar, and for all anarchist prisoners in Indonesia.No one is free until everyone is free.
