Rahmat Wibowo, calling himself a 'victim of Ibangsat', mocked a 5 November archive announcement from Ibrahim Arief's X account in a video titled 'Kawal Ibam ke Penjara', labelling it 'allegedly state secrets' and saying 'I hope Ibam goes to prison, 15 years if possible'

Commentary

He published it on YouTube on 5 November 2026. Minute links open the video at that point.

  • “A victim of Ibangsat.” He opens by calling himself “a victim of Ibangsat”, his name for Ibrahim Arief, and presents the video as “collecting on the promise” of “strongly suspected state secrets” (minute 0). He then reads a post from Ibrahim’s X account, which its profile says is managed by his family, legal team and volunteers, thanking about eleven thousand people for seeding a “first archive” and saying the decryption key for a second archive was scheduled for “on or around the Fifth of November” (minute 1–3). The post does not call the archives state secrets; that label is his.
  • “I hope Ibam goes to prison.” He mocks the release as “our hero” distributing “just a video”, says he has blocked Ibam’s Instagram, and closes: “I hope Ibam goes to prison, guys, 15 years if possible”, adding that it will be “blow after blow for Ibam”, alongside his own trial (minute 2–4). The video is titled “Kawal Ibam ke Penjara” (“escort Ibam to prison”).
  • The day after. On 6 November he mocked Ibrahim on Threads with AI videos of the “5 November” poster, jeering that the files “never came”.
