On the situation of our comrade Mónica Caballero Sepulveda, after her brawl in jail with a miserable woman
Last Tuesday, December 28th, our anarchist companion Mónica Caballero Sepúlveda had a verbal and physical altercation with the inmate Denisse Llanos, who was returning from a punishment following another fight she had provoked that same day, in the morning. Monica expressed her refusal to share her cell with this inmate, because of their multiple differences in relation to the behavior of the latter.
It is necessary to say that the decision of the Penitentiary Administration to install Llanos, on her return from the punishment, precisely in the cell of the companion is an obvious provocation, in a context of internal tensions, as the overpopulation and the typical pressure of the prison, and external, as the explosive devices against structures of the Penitentiary Administration were. For this reason, the next day Monica’s relatives went to meet with the OSI staff (in charge of the prison security) and the prison director, Denisse Melgarejo, to whom they expressed all the apprehensions, concerns and uneasiness caused by this serious accident in which our companion was involved. At the same time, we asked for a visiting room, which was authorized, during which we were able to give Monica the support and affection of many people.
We found her strong and dignified. She thanks for all the gestures received.
Moreover, we inform that we will appeal, through the courts, against the punishment, immediately accepted and implemented by the court, which will leave our companion without visit for two weeks. We hold the prison administration responsible for any future harm Monica may receive.
Because the struggle takes place wherever we are!
Because no prison is forever!
Unwavering support for Monica Caballero.
