Call for internationalist solidarity for the Release to the Streets of comrade Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda, an anti-authoritarian prisoner in the Chilean prisons still held captive by the military laws of Pinochet.
Week of Agitation from December 9 to 16, 2024.
– From the Marcelo Villarroel Anti-Prison Solidarity Network to the street RSAMVALK in Chile together with a group of Like-Minded Individuals in different places and territories of the planet, we make this call that seeks to maintain the visibility of a very serious legal-political situation very serious since it expresses all the hatred and vengeance of the power that, above its own legality, keeps our brother and comrade who, since December 2023, should already be on the streets for having fully served the 14-year sentence that was imposed for two bank robberies that occurred in 2007.
Let’s remember that Marcelo was arrested in Argentine territory on 15 March 2008 and expelled to Chile on December 15, 2009, and
from then until today, his captivity has been maintained under the pretext of having to serve the sentences for which he spent another period in prison between 1992 and 2005 when he was granted parole.
“The state kidnapping of Marcelo, which is specifically a life sentence” covered, is sustained in the most rotten filth of the legacies dictatorial: the putrid Military Justice of Pinochet still in 2024. Something that seemed unthinkable 51 years after the military coup and the beginning of the civic-military dictatorship.”
Today’s call is to put everyone’s efforts and emphasis on each one to put an end to one of the most abhorrent situations from the legal-political situation that affects one of our own.
A comrade who is part of that list of siblings who in different territories of the planet have had to pay with long decades of imprisonment their decision to fight with arms in hand against the nefarious social order imposed by the ruling class, never renouncing their ties and convictions rooted in the multifaceted anti-authoritarian spectrum, subversive anarchic that unites him in different languages but with the same language of war against the world of power, hierarchies, and all authority.
We urgently call to express and mobilize all wills and initiatives to bring our brother to the streets and thereby end the nefarious legal legacy of the late Pinochet that is still in force in Chilean society.
May all Active Minds be able to express gestures wherever they find themselves for the achievement of this longed-for objective.
For the annulment of the sentences of Pinochet’s military justice Marcelo Villarroel on the streets now!!
As long as there is misery, there will be rebellion!!
Revolutionary anti-authoritarian prisoners of all tendencies to the street!!
– Late November 2024 – different territories.
-Affiliated Individuals
Marcelo Villarroel Anti-Prison Solidarity Network to the streets!!

For my comrade Kyriakos X.
Goodbye comrade,
”You will be ashes, old world.
You’re destined for the path of destruction
And you can’t bend us
By killing our brothers in arms…
And know this
We will come out victorious
And even though our sacrifices
Are heavy”

Belatedly, I would like to write a few words about my comrade and companion for the past 6 years of my life, K. Xymitiris, who passed away in an apartment on Arkadias Street.
Together we struggled and shaped our opinions on anything that troubled us. I grew up with him, on a journey of discovering my combative identity. And Kyriakos was always by my side, not in front or in the back, but next to me. Holding my hand, supporting me, with his smile and his perspicacity. Always giving the correct answers while we were all mincing our words, clearing the landscape while we were all feeling lost. With a well-developed sense of solidarity, he always stood on the side of anyone who needed it, regardless of repression, being targeted, and his own comfort. Always first in all the struggles: against repression, gentrification, the labour sweatshops, colonialism, patriarchy, prisons. Indispensable as a comrade and as a friend, wherever he stood he filled the space with his modesty and militancy.
By advocating for unity in the struggle for the revolutionary cause, for confrontation, militancy and counter-attack, always with respect for those next to him, he made space where others suffocated. So he lived, at least by my side, militant and persistent, hopeful and smiling. Ready for everything, taking risks big and small, he gave his daily life to the struggle without a second thought.
Always by our side
to me, to his friends and his comrades, to anyone who needed him for the smallest or the biggest matter.
Always by our sideto take on the most tedious, the most risky role.Always by our side to hold our hand, to accompany us, to open the way.
Always by the sideof the migrant, the abused, the worker, the prisoner.
And always by my sideto support me, to help me, to listen to me, to struggle together with me, to hug me by pushing away the fear, to encourage me by pushing away the second thoughts, to fill the days and nights with comradeship and combativeness.
COMRADE KYRIAKOSNone of the goodbyes are enough. None of the texts can describe the pain of your loss. On 31/10 I was left half, on a path where I wanted you by my side. On 31/10 I lost that smile that only you knew how to evoke. On 31/10 I lost the hopefulness that only you could transmit to me. But on 31/10 I also made a promise to you, to me, to us and to so many others, that you would not be forgotten. On 31/10 I stayed behind to speak about you, about the struggle you gave and about those you did not manage to give. On 31/10 I raised up my fist and with my bloody mouth I vowed to STRUGGLE. On 31/10 I raised my fist and in the rubble of Arcadia Street I said KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS, ALWAYS PRESENT!
”Our most beautiful days we haven’t seen yet.
And the most beautiful words I wanted to tell you
I haven’t said yet…”
Nazim Hikmet
With unconditional love
your comrade
