$hile: Update on the third and fourth weeks of the trial against compañeros Aldo and Lucas Hernández

Posted on 2025/08/18 by darknights

Update on the trial against comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernández.

On Monday, August 4, the third week of the trial against comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernández began. Both were detained in connection with the investigation into the explosive attack against the National Gendarmerie Directorate.

During these more than 10 days of trial, the evidentiary phase has continued, with various witnesses and experts presenting testimony that supports the prosecution’s case presented by prosecutor Claudio Orellana. Specifically, last week saw the testimony of gendarmerie officials who were at the scene on the day of the explosion. Part of the routes taken by the individuals who planted the device, at least one of whom has been identified by the police as Aldo, have also been revealed, although no material evidence has yet been presented to reliably prove their involvement in the incident.

The following days are expected to follow a similar pattern, with testimony revealing police conjectures intended to establish the guilt of our comrades in the acts of which they are accused. The investigation carried out by the southern metropolitan prosecutor’s office and entrusted to specialized personnel such as OS9, GOPE, and LABOCAR. The call is to not forget or stop paying attention to the situation and the process our comrades are going through. This trial will be lengthy, as the penalties sought by the prosecutor’s office are outrageously high, and for this reason, it is the duty of those in solidarity to show up in the streets for our comrades in prison.

Aldo and Lucas to the streets!

Update on the trial against comrades Aldo and Lucas…

Monday, August 11, marks the start of the fourth week of the trial against comrades Aldo and Lucas.

The third week featured the presentation and examination of the latest evidence available to the public prosecutor’s office in relation to the explosive attack on the National Gendarmerie Directorate, such as images and recordings of the route taken by those who planted the explosive device, as well as statements from police officers belonging to various specialized police units (GOPE, LABOCAR, OS9) who have recounted the development of the investigation as well as the police hypotheses in inferences they had to make in order to place Aldo at the scene of the crime. It has become clear from the statements made that there are gray areas in the investigation that they were never able to determine with certainty, having to rely on assumptions in the absence of material evidence that effectively supports the accusation.

During the last days of the third week, the prosecutor began his presentation on the searches carried out on December 22, 2022, starting with the residence located in the 5th region, in the commune of Loncura, Quintero, which they attempt to attribute to Aldo and, with this, his responsibility for the items found there.

During the fourth week, the latest material and testimonial evidence relating to this address and the items found there continued to be presented, as well as evidence relating to the address raided on the same day, December 22, 2022, but in the municipality of Pedro Aguirre Cerda, La Victoria neighborhood, where, in addition to seizing a series of items, including ammunition, tools, and weapons, among others, comrades Aldo and Lucas were arrested.

Solidarity with comrades Aldo and Lucas, who are facing numerous years in prison.
May solidarity not be a misused word, but rather be felt in the daily lives of our comrades deprived of their freedom and also of those who suffer the reprisals of power.

$hile: Words by compañero Lucas Hernández. 6 months after the arrests for the Gendarmerie Case

Posted on 2023/07/13 - 2023/07/13 by darknights

Words by compañero Lucas Hernández. Six months after the arrests for the Gendarmerie Case.

“For me there was no opposite to freedom but death. I did not conceive the term prison or jail as anything other than a synonym for death…” Juan José Garfia

Months go by without much novelty, inserted in this redoubt of the underworld, which silences and hides. It is difficult to understand that your mobility is guarded and limited at every moment. It is easy to nourish myself with hate. If my eyes see daily officials, abuses, bars and uniforms in this implanted and repugnant routine, which overwhelms and suffocates.

But that does not paralyze or torment. Neither their punishments nor their decorated uniforms make me doubt my ideas and position in the face of this system of domination. In this process I have had the good fortune to live and experience political imprisonment with various comrades. Supporting each other, but we will not always be together, nor close, nor prisoners. Anti-prison solidarity has brought us together.

Captivity can suffocate, exhaust, but never defeat me… this prison process has reaffirmed how little I believe in. A joyful disappointment in those I once called brothers and sisters… today there are few I still love.

Any kind of pretensions I always wanted them aside, protagonists towards their spectacles. I am just a stealthy anarchist, brother to my siblings, and an avowed enemy of this or any state.

Santiago, Chile: Explosive attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmerie + Claim of “The Black Vengeance”

Posted on 2021/12/29 - 2025/08/18 by darknights

During the early morning of Monday, December 27, 2021, a loud bang shakes the center of the capital. An explosive device detonates against a window of the National Directorate of Gendarmerie, located on Rosas Street at the height of Teatinos.

GOPE personnel quickly arrived at the scene, and the South Prosecutor’s Office, which handles this type of crime, was present, entrusting the OS-9 and Labocar personnel with the investigation. According to the press, it was the Prosecutor’s Office itself which indicated the prohibition to inform and give more information. No pamphlets were found at the site.

Via email, the action is claimed by “La Negra Venganza”, which according to the text would be the same group that acted against a police station in 2020. The text details the use of industrial explosives, as well as ammunition in the explosive device, making an open call to expand this type of practice, to show solidarity with the prisoners and to expand the use of their name, and finally to greet other action groups.

Campaign of attack and revenge against the executioners. Act II

Explosive attack to the National Directorate of Gendarmerie of Chile.

“In a highly self-critical manner, the solidarity actions that are undertaken are generally reactive. There are no actions that are rather offensive… We all know where the guys are, they are walking around in their uniforms, and they do it with total impunity. And we know that inside they are harassing the brothers and sisters, they are making them feel bad, they are humiliating them…”

Mauricio Morales

One year after our first action, as the group that we are, and after much study, tensions, proposals and reflections, we are back. We are back, we continue with the campaign we started some time ago.

We will go in the early morning of December 27, 2021 a few minutes before the clock strikes 3:00 a.m. (The time and day are always proposed, so that the attack in its entirety reaches our targets-enemies) To the National Directorate of Gendarmerie of Chile. Located in Rosas street, downtown Santiago. Continue reading “Santiago, Chile: Explosive attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmerie + Claim of “The Black Vengeance”” →
