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.

$hile: In response to the repressive onslaught of the state against the comrades imprisoned in Santiago 1 and San Miguel. Words from Monica, Joaquin, Marcelo, Juan and Francisco.

Posted on 2023/06/24 by darknights

Prison reality is constituted by a permanent tension where our convictions and the certainty of our position at all times come into play, inevitably.

This reality implies always bearing in mind that the jailer can dispose of our lives at any moment and that our strength lies precisely in having the certainty that we will face each of these adverse situations always with dignity.

Increased restrictions, transfers and sanctions are part of these impositions that today affect our comrades locked up in the prison-company Santiago 1 and comrade Itamar in the CPF of San Miguel.

The comrade today in the punishment zone is faced with threats of transfer and the crafty tricks of a jailer with pretensions of making a name for herself. It is necessary to emphasize that this situation is due to the fact that the comrade, together with other prisoners in Tower 5, has spread the word about the abusive practices of the jailers during the raids, in a clear attitude of struggle and confrontation.

The comrades, for their part, are fighting for their regrouping after they were removed from Module 1 with the excuse of dismantling it and were distributed among different units, and today several of them are in Module 88 of punishment.

Chile: Update on the situation of political prisoners in the concessioned prison $antiago 1

Posted on 2023/06/24 by darknights

On May 31, 2023, we were informed by the relatives of the political prisoners located in the CDP Santiago 1 subject to preventive measure of preventive detention, that seven of them had been transferred from module 1 arbitrarily, without any explanation, considering that all of them had been designated to the maximum security module 1A of the penitentiary center by order of the Guarantee Courts for being cases of “public connotation”.

In view of this situation and the uncertainty regarding their location inside the prison, we were asked to visit them legally in order to know their situation.

On Thursday, June 1, we went to the prison to corroborate the state of health and the location of the political prisoners of Santiago 1, and with great difficulty we were able to see three of the seven accused who had been transferred.

We learned that the three were in different modules, they told us that they had passed through different modules, where the prison population refused to receive them due to overcrowding issues, directly denying them access or even, in some cases, forcibly removing them from the space once they were already inside. Despite this situation we were able to confirm that they are well, whole, firm and unbending.

$hile: Transfers and dispersal of political prisoners in Santiago 1. Words by Claudio, Koda and Ambro.

Posted on 2023/06/24 by darknights

On Wednesday, May 31, we were removed from Module 1 by orders of the gendarmerie, whose objective was to disarm the maximum security module. 6 political prisoners were sent to module 11 where for obvious reasons of number of people they did not let us in, then they sent us to classification where they offered us only medium danger modules (under our “consent”) threatening us that if we did not sign they would give us a random module.

Comrade Syde was sent only to module 16 where he decided not to stay so as not to leave us alone.

Of the 7 of us who were lifted only two were able to spend the night in a module (13 and 36) and the rest went to the punishments, a place where your life hangs by a thread.

We call to agitate, act and demand that our condition of political prisoners be recognized and that we be grouped in the same module.

We: Claudio, Ambro and Koda, who write these words have no knowledge of the situation of our comrades, we have heard rumors that those who came to the punishments lost all their belongings, we hope from the bottom of our hearts that they are safe and sound, otherwise, we hold directly responsible to

gendarmerie of chile.

Let’s fight and demand dignified conditions for the political prisoners.

$hile: Numerous incendiary outbreaks in active memory of anarchist comrade Mauricio Morales ‘Punky Mauri’

Incendiary outbreak at Liceo de Aplicación in memory of Mauricio Morales

On Monday, May 22, a rally was held in the vicinity of the Liceo de Aplicación leading to barricades and confrontations with Molotov cocktails against the presence of the Carabineros (COP) in memory of comrade Mauricio Morales who died in combat when he detonated in advance the explosive device he was trying to install in the Gendarmerie School in 2009.

Banners and leaflets were read: “May 22nd, day of chaos”, “Before sleeping I embrace kaos. For a May as black as gunpowder. Mauricio Morales”, ” There are still backpacks like Punky Mauri’s”, “Mauricio Morales present, let anarchy live”, “14 years after your departure, you are still alive in our anarchist hearts and souls.”

Below are some records:

$hile: Words for compañero Punki Mauri by Joaquín García Chancks, Marcelo Villarroel & Mónica Caballero

Words for compañero Punki Mauri by Joaquín García Chancks

From the other side of the walls, I extend an affectionate and anarchic embrace to all those who participate in this already historic activity.

It is incredible the passage of time, it would be terribly false of me to speak of a closeness to anarchist circles back in 2009, I think I felt part of an anarchist collectivity, if you can call it that, shortly after, enough for the loss of a comrade to still be felt so close to the surface.

Mauricio Morales transcends, he is an inevitable reference for many -no matter how hard one fights to destroy that idealized and stereotyped image that this same anarchic “we” has been in charge of propagating through time- that is the truth, one cannot think of May without considering this date, one cannot whisper attack without thinking of Mauricio, one cannot conspire to attack without the palpable experience that sometimes things do not work out well; It is what endows history with reality, what makes us shake off all the theory and put our feet on the ground, the seriousness of what confrontation means, the knowledge that what may be so costly for us will not be so costly for Power…. To assume that no action will bring us an anarchic tomorrow, that the becoming is lived day by day, and that the only way to obtain a little bit of freedom is to embrace antagonism as a present, of theory and praxis, word and action, morality and attack. If we are to find something clear, almost undeniable in Mauricio, let it be this symbiosis.

Words by Marcelo Villarroel in subversive memory of Mauricio Morales

“I will seek at the risk of my life the best, the authentic freedom…”

Mauricio Morales.-

– From prison and 14 years after the death in action of comrade Mauricio Morales, a greeting of insurrectional memory and an eternal war cry for all those who walk the same path of struggle.

On the night of May 22, 2009, a powerful explosion shook the surroundings of the Gendarmerie School, a prison repressors’ factory, in the Matta neighborhood, in the south-central area of Santiago de Chile.

The explosion mortally wounded the Punky Mauri, who was on his way by bicycle to attack with an artifact, the main redoubt for the formation of penitentiary officers, seeking to strike with anarchic vengeance the place from where the most detestable beings that prison society can produce are mass-produced.

$hile: Communiqué after 7 months in prison. Anti-speciesist prisoners of the Susaron case

Posted on 2023/06/05 - 2023/06/05 by darknights

On November 3, 2022, we are detained by the BIPE in different territories, our houses are raided, accusing us of arson in an inhabited place, with danger to people. Due to the fire that affected the Susaron branch on September 19, 2022, resulting in the burning of its sales room, refrigerators and trucks, causing millions of dollars in damages.
On November 4, we went to detention control, where we were charged with the crime of arson and possession of ammunition, the butcher shop and the Public Prosecutor’s Office filed a complaint.
We were remanded in custody for 70 days while the investigation lasted.

Time that has been extended by the prosecutor until today, almost 7 months, due to the seriousness of the crime and the penalty that this deserves according to the penal code, which is around 15 to 20 years.
In these long months, we have gone through various emotions and feelings. Confronting the reality of every prisoner, facing the blow that prison generates in your habits and close circle. Keeping indeclinably the conviction and courage that led us to these cages. Living in our own flesh what millions of animals around the world live. A forced and arbitrary captivity. Violence and aggression. Based on the decision of a judge. In their case; the judge is the accepted human logic that sees them as things or inferior.
We do not regret our ideas and the steps that lead us to our becoming.
There is no wall, gendarme or bar, that makes us stop sustaining that animal liberation is a fundamental pillar of any anarchic or libertarian conception. And that in that glow, the active hands of those who embrace the idea against authority are primordial.
Yesterday, today and tomorrow. We are still at war!
For the fall of this and any society! Social-anti-social war!
Animal liberation! Total liberation! Under any consequence and affected.

Providencia, Chile: Claim of the explosive attack against Fundación Paz Ciudadana by the Brígadas Anárquicas Luis Ramírez Olaechea (May 22, 2023)

Claim of the explosive attack against Fundación Paz Ciudadana by the Brígadas Anárquicas Luis Ramírez Olaechea (Providencia, Chile, May 22, 2023)

Claim of the explosive attack on Fundación Paz Ciudadana

Those who have been here, in the minority and diffuse practice, know that failing an attack is part of the many probabilities that arise in the bravery of the street, when we believe that everything is going well, we are surprised that something escapes from what was arranged and planned.

Deciding on an electrical system to detonate an explosive charge is not a whimsical decision, it is the result of studying the objectives, our forces and our resources for action. With a quick entry and withdrawal from the environment we prioritize the safety of our comrades, understanding that the materials at our disposal come and go, while the life and freedom of our brothers and sisters is the most valuable component of the arsenal.

These bitter situations are softened when we know from practice that although the State, police and prosecutors are careful to protect their territories, neighborhoods, institutions and infrastructures, the attack is still possible in contexts of control and passivity. The attack does not come to life in fervent virtual slogans, it is a threat when it bursts into the streets.

In the face of a mistake we could remain comfortably silent but we are proud to persist in action, charged with memory and militant solidarity. We take the words of the comrades in Bolivia, “Long live all the efforts of the anarchic struggle!” because to advance vertiginously along the paths of confrontation is a victory for our revolutionary horizons. We continue, we know that nothing is over and everything continues, and that our only defeat will be not to try.

On the objective

On April 2, 1992, a gang dressed in suits and ties burst into a large house located on the corner of Valenzuela Castillo and Marchant Pereira streets in the Providencia district in broad daylight to found what we know today as the Fundación Paz Ciudadana (Citizen Peace Foundation). No newspaper or television channel dared to treat them as high-risk criminals, despite the fact that among the attendees that afternoon were Agustín Edwards (great financier of the socio-political destabilization in the 70’s) and other prominent figures of Chilean political corruption such as Carlos Alberto Délano, as well as Nicolás Ibáñez and Nicolás Ibáñez, as well as Nicolás Ibáñez, a well-known ultra-right-wing businessman, who when he ran D&S boasted a life-size bust of Pinochet in the middle of his living room, and other members of Chile’s most powerful business groups such as Bernardo Matte and Guillermo Luksic.

Fundación Paz Ciudadana emerged when the longed-for social peace of the agreed transition was cracking and a hard blow was dealt to one of the country’s wealthiest families. A split of the Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez kidnapped Cristián Edwards, Agustín’s son. After this event, the need for an anti-crime plan and a new Penal Code became urgent, since it could not be allowed the audacity of stalking the magnates of this estate.

Chile: Words by comrade Ambro for the anti-prison day held on May 6 in Villa Portales

Posted on 2023/05/24 - 2023/05/24 by darknights

Greetings to all those present, I would like to begin by thanking you for your attendance to the activity, and also to thank all those who made and make this event possible, once again demonstrating their faithful support and loyal commitment.

Support networks and gestures of solidarity are necessary and indispensable in the frontal attack against all that is established and authority.

My arrest occurs in the context of a new commemoration of the day of the young combatant, a new 29th where the night becomes an accomplice of the insurgent youth that armed with courage they confront the enemy face to face, seeking to keep intact the rebellious and combative memory through anonymous action, and it is precisely in this action where the statements, theories and convictions make sense, that is why I believe it is essential to keep alive this black memory and make it a permanent exercise.

It is in this context that every bullet, bomb or attack carries with it the hatred and rage accumulated over centuries of slavery and inequality, which cry out for vengeance.

I knew very well that anyone who rebels against the tyrant, who tries to alter the established order and who decides to take the path of direct confrontation is always very close to imprisonment or death. That is why when I was kidnapped by the sikarios of power, I immediately accepted my destiny and decided to go ahead without hesitation or regrets, in fact the decision was already taken since I assumed an anarchic and irreducible position. When I threw myself into freedom.

However, that does not mean that the reality shock was not hard, life inside the prisons was still something unknown and from the first moment it shows its teeth and claws. Continue reading “Chile: Words by comrade Ambro for the anti-prison day held on May 6 in Villa Portales” →
