In the face of the repressive measures that are beginning to be imposed inside and outside, the call is not to provide any information useful to the repression. No collaboration is acceptable! No photos of our comrade, no information about his surroundings or connections given to the police!
Long escape and life to the comrades on the run and in hiding. All our strength and solidarity to those who still resist in prison.
“I cherish every moment in which I can,
together with my comrades, learn from the experiences that different generations have
passed down since ancient times, based on solidarity and humility.
Nothing is over, because the task continues to contribute in a concrete way.
Those who live fighting walk, opening paths wherever and however they can.
Autonomous and illegal, that is our horizon.”

Chile: Some repercussions following the escape of subversive prisoner Tomas González from the ex Penitentiary
At noon on February 25, 2026, former subversive prisoner Tomás González and another inmate managed to escape from the former penitentiary dressed as prison guards. Tomás was serving a 21-year prison sentence for throwing Molotov cocktails and resisting arrest with gunfire.
Once the news broke and a media storm erupted, the prison service decided to remove the Regional Director and the senior staff of the former penitentiary: the Warden, the Chief of Operations, and the Chief of Internal Affairs. Loud statements from ministers and members of the government were broadcast on television during the first few days, along with a photograph of the fugitive.
The investigation was carried out by the Western District Attorney’s Office and the Investigative Police, who on March 2 conducted a series of raids in Maipú, La Granja, and the Pablo Vergara Toledo Community Space in Villa Francia.
