Incendiary attack on RED bus outside San Miguel Prison

When we visualize the face of the enemy, we immediately recognize the prison and its penitentiary system, with all its apparatuses and officials, as a focus to destroy, since it is there where historically they have sought to imprison revolutionary minds and actions.

Both in the past and in the present, we know that our comrades in prison have had to resist on a daily basis the constant harassment of their bodies, as the gendarmerie tries to systematically provoke the demoralization of our comrades in prison, through humiliation, punishment, torture, threats to take away their visits or orders in the face of any act that alters the codes of domination within the modules.

That is why, by means of a precision attack, we have set fire to a RED bus with an efficient incendiary device outside the San Miguel Prison, with the aim of altering the passivity that can be smelled in the streets in the face of a society that watches and controls behavior, longing for submission and building a false belief about the impossibility of fighting it.

A special greeting to comrade Monica Caballero, who is in a new trial against her together with Francisco Solar for several explosive attacks against repressors and powerful people. Insurrectional solidarity with Monica and Francisco!

A warm embrace for Itamar Diaz who recently experienced the punishment of the San Miguel jailers after confronting their authoritarian dynamics. Also for the comrades in Santiago 1 who were dispersed to different modules after showing solidarity with Itamar.

For all of you, a gesture of solidarity turned into fire, trying to oxygenate the daily life in prison, know that you are with us in every action. A speedy recovery to comrade Zukato.

For the abolition of prisons!
To multiply the autonomous action!

Chile: Trial against Francisco Solar and Mónica Caballero for the actions of the ‘Cómplices Sediciosos – Fracción por la Venganza’ and the ‘Afinidades Armadas en Revuelta’: updates on the July 18-20 hearings and continuation of the trial

Posted on 2023/07/30 by darknights

We publish a series of updates translated from Spanish on the hearings that took place last week, beginning July 18, in the context of the trial of anarchists Francisco Solar and Mónica Caballero in Santiago, Chile. In particular, we publish those on the July 19-20 hearings and an informational update (in Spanish) on all the hearings from solidarity radio stations. Francisco and Mónica’s presence during the trial in the coming weeks will be via videoconference, while for the final phase, the closing arguments and the reading of the sentence, they will be back in court. During the July 18 hearing, prosecutor Álex Cortez said that for the prosecution he intends to impose a sentence of more than 150 years on Francisco and between 20 and 25 years on Mónica , while during the July 19 hearing Francisco reiterated his assumption of responsibility for all the actions, arguing their reasons and revolutionary significance. To supplement what has been published about the first day of the trial (updates, propaganda agitation activities and the live broadcast of the solidarity radio frequencies), we also include a brief and additional photographic account of the July 18 hearing.

To contextualize the trial and the actions for which the comrades stand accused today, we also invite you to read the following articles, updates, and statements: “Assuming responsibility” (Francisco Solar, December 2021), “Statement in view of the upcoming trial” (Mónica Caballero, Francisco Solar, April 2023), “Statement on the struggle of anarchist and subversive prisoners in Chilean jails” (Mónica Caballero, Francisco Solar, Joaquín García, Juan Aliste, Marcelo Villarroel, July 2023), “Declaration Facing the Beginning of the Trial” (Mónica Caballero, Francisco Solar, July 2023), “They are not the first, nor will they be the last. In view of the beginning of the trial against Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar, accomplice words from the anarchist and subversive anti-authoritarian brotherhood in prison” (Joaquín García, Juan Aliste, Marcelo Villarroel, July 2023), and “Trial against Francisco Solar and Mónica Caballero for the actions of the Cómplices Sediciosos – Fracción por la Venganza and the Afinidades Armadas en Revuelta: Agitation and propaganda, live on solidarity radio frequencies, presence outside the court (July 18, 2023).”

Revolutionary solidarity with Francisco Solar and Mónica Caballero!

The trial against Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar has begun.

Around 08:30 this Tuesday morning [July 18, ed.], in Santiago’s Centro de Justicia, oral arguments began on the first day of the oral trial by which authorities intend to punish anarchist comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar for attacking the former minister of the first Piñera government (nefarious repressor Rodrigo Hinzpeter), the 54th police station, located in the northern zone, and the Tánica building in the rich quarter.

The day was held in the Rondizoni building, with the presence of Mónica, transferred from San Miguel prison, and Francisco, transferred from La Gonzalina prison in Rancagua.

At the beginning of the hearing, the defense of the comrades asked for the removal of the excessive and ridiculous security measures, which consisted of handcuffs on the wrists, chains on the feet and a yellow vest, a request that was withdrawn only for the latter, maintaining the remaining measures.

Nicolás Toro, Francisco Solar’s lawyer, during a special broadcast of free anarchist radio stations in support of Mónica and Francisco, said that the trial because of its magnitude could last until September and that as a defense they are trying “to see the different legal aspects that will allow us to have the lowest possible sentences in relation to this attack by the state, this revenge.” The lawyer also referred to the pressure exerted by the media: “Mega has already launched a totally biased service, where they try to criminalize the actions of our comrades. We are facing this situation permanently,” he explained.

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.

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:

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.
Tony furry brother of late presente!!!
