The Surakarta Court conducted further trial for alleged incitement of democratic action that resulted in chaos at the end of August 2025, in Surakarta on Monday (30/04). The trial set an agenda for the pronouncement of the judges’ verdict. The pronouncement with regards to the three defendants - Hanif Bagas Utama (26), Bogi Setyo Bumo (27), and Daffa Labidulloh Darmaji (21) - was given in two decisions.

In the case No. 1/Pid.B/2026/PN Skt, the judges stated that Hanif and Bogi were formally acquitted of criminal acts, and that the judges rejected the prosecutor’s charges.

After the acquittal, the trial continued with case No. 2/Pid.B/2026/PN Skt, where the judges declared that Daffa was acquitted of all charges. The three defeendants were set free from prison, and their rights and dignity were restored, and the evidence were returned and the cost of the case be paid by the State.

The judges indicated that the defendants were not proven guilty of committing crime, despite the fact that they called for action through social media. Their action was deemed expression of aspiration and freedom of expression, not attempt to incite chaos as suggested by the prosecutor. “To acquite all defendants of all charges by the procesutor and to order the defendants be released of prison after the court ended,” said the judges during the pronouncement.

The happy moment filled the court room with screams of joy and claps for the victory. The victory was not just for the defendants, but for the whole population. Euphoria continued by walking alongside Hanif, Bogi, and Daffa while chanting the slogan “People united cannot be defeated” and singing the song that suggested the release was a victory for workers and peasants.

The representatives of the Anti-Criminilisation Lawyers’ Coalition in Solo Raya, Made Ridho as the lead lawyer stated that the judges’ decision showed that charges against the three defendants were not proven. He further indicated that the judges’ decision at Solo Court showed the judges’ commitment to democracy. (Renny Talitha Candra)
