Chile: Arrests and raids in the framework of the explosive attack against the National Directorate of the Gendarmerie

Posted on 2023/01/04 by darknights

On December 27, 2021, the group “Negra Venganza” claimed responsibility for the explosive attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmerie, causing significant damage to its offices and buildings after the detonation of an explosive device against its premises.

Almost a year after the attack, the repressive forces carried out important raids and arrests in order to find those responsible. On December 22, 2022, the police raided several homes in Santiago and Valparaiso, arresting about 7 people.

5 detainees will be prosecuted for different illegal elements found in their homes, a sixth is directly accused of the explosive attack against the gendarmerie, and a seventh was found with black powder in his home.

So far 4 of the detainees will be formalized, and there will be more clarity on the legal situation. Solidarity with the accused for the attack on the gendarmerie!

Comrade accused of explosive attack on gendarmerie and arrested during raids remanded in custody

On December 22, 2022, the South Prosecutor’s Office ordered multiple raids in an operation to find those responsible for the attack on the National Directorate of the Gendarmerie, which occurred in December 2021, an action claimed as “Negra Venganza”.

The result of the operation ended only on December 23 with the formalization of 4 detainees:

Three subjects were formalized for the possession of different illegal objects found in their homes, and were remanded in custody. Aldo Hernandez was formalized for the attack to the National Direction of Gendarmerie, 16 crimes of frustrated injuries (by the jailers who were inside) and carrying weapons and ammunition.

The 10th Court of Guarantee accepted the term of 120 days of investigation, being transferred to the prison/company Santiago 1 and the Prison “La Gonzalina” in Rancagua.

Solidarity with those who arm themselves in their denials and attack the jailers!

Chile: Text from anti-speciesist comrades imprisoned for the Susaron case in memory of Sebastian Oversluij

Posted on 2022/12/20 - 2022/12/20 by darknights

9 years later, more present than ever! From this time capsule called prison, we remember that afternoon of December 11, when we learned that an animal of our race dared to bite with the joy of very few. And that in his daring the armed tamer who guarded that symbolic institution of power, responded as what he is.
An enemy to the death. Like any uniformed man.
We do not victimize you, savage warrior, wherever your serene gaze may be. We smile knowing the pleasure that shook your heart at the door of that beautiful confrontation with the suffocating reality, with your submachine gun as one more part of your determined and agitated being.

We celebrate your impetus and embrace your example of life. Not as a metaphor or anecdote. But as a daily path and choice.
You are not and were not a hero, you would hate to have seen yourself that way.
But you are a reference of how to counteract the inactive death, of the idea of the duel to death with the existent and its false critics. That many use as a slogan and few embrace until they burn.
Nine years later, and more present than ever.
Sebastian Oversluij. Pelao Angry.
Anarcho nihilist vegan straight. Dead at war with this shitty reality.

Chile: ‘Because there is a whole world to destroy.’ Text in solidarity with comrades Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan for “Nueva Subversión”

Posted on 2022/12/06 by darknights

Because there is a whole world to destroy. Text in solidarity with comrades Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan.

“For me, “informality” is above all friendship and love between comrades who share everything, even disappointments (inevitable in human relationships, because of their fickle nature). Brothers and sisters in war united by a passion: the destruction of the existent that is sufficient by itself and does not need the constraint of an organization. A life lived intensely, a handful of comrades who make loyalty and respect for the given word an insurmountable fortress, always allowing themselves to resist.”

– Alfredo Cospito

The anarchic endeavor travels thousands of kilometers, destroys languages and borders in the incessant war against power, in this journey we weave networks of conspiracy and we twin with comrades who have decided of their own free will to give practical impetus to their denials.

In all the history of propaganda by the fact we have never been forced, dragged or manipulated to strike blows against the enemy, always from our own conscience and will is that Anarchy has opened beautiful paths of confrontation and that will not change.

Far from hesitations and contemplative postures towards life and its rapid advance, we find brothers and sisters and comrades at long distances, accomplices that make Anarchy an active giant with vast experiences in the new anarchist urban guerrilla. Of these comrades are Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan, activists, dangerous and unyielding in the streets and in the prisons of capital.

Our words emerge from action and are a wink of complicit brotherhood with those who have been trapped by power and who today make their bodies a trench of war. In special solidarity for comrade Alfredo Cospito who faces a new battle, in a new planning and action against the beast of 41bis.

Santiago, Chile: Statement claiming responsibility for the explosive attack against the central offices of the chemical industry Oxiquim S.A., in solidarity with anarchist Alfredo Cospito, from New Anarchist Subversion – Alex Núñez Cell / FAI

Statement claiming responsibility for the explosive attack against the central offices of the chemical industry Oxiquim S.A., in solidarity with anarchist Alfredo Cospito, from New Anarchist Subversion – Alex Núñez Cell / FAI (Santiago, Chile, November 28, 2022)

(Santiago, Chile) ATTACK WITH EXPLOSIVE DEVICE AGAINST OXIQUIM S.A.

With anarchist attitude, the central offices of Oxiquim S.A. in the municipality of Providencia, Santiago, Chile, were attacked.

The high-powered device did not explode because of a solvable technical problem, so we are aiming for more.

Oxiquim, a giant of the Chilean chemical industry and a direct supplier to the country’s major extractive industries in the forestry, mining, agroindustrial and fishing sub-areas.

Oxiquim, a company headed by Fernando Barros Tocornal, a businessman with a high level of influence in Chilean politics, a direct advocate of dictator Pinochet, former president Sebastián Piñera, and a board member of the animal exploitation company Agrosuper.

Oxiquim, directly responsible for the pollution and ecocide of the waters, territory and inhabitants of Quintero-Puchuncaví, defended by the Chilean Navy during protests against the so-called “sacrifice zones.”

This is a new act of revenge against the perpetrators of Earth devastation and destruction. It’s a new violent action by anarchist hands in permanent conspiracy and revolt. It’s a new attack justified by the existence of domination. It is another insurrectionary action in the no-holds-barred struggle for Total Liberation.

Against technological industrial complex that seeks to exploit and dominate all forms of life, WE ARE SELVAGE FORCE. Against illusions of democracy and against all governments and those responsible for Earth devastation, WE PROPOSE CHAOS AND ANARCHY.

We want that the news of this action reaches eyes and ears of imprisoned anarchist comrades, claiming solidarity as the continuity of the attack against power outside and inside prisons.

With particular complicity we stand with the vegan anarcho-nihilists arrested after the anti-speciesist attack against the animal exploitation company Susaron and with anarchist prisoners Joaquín García, Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar. We also salute the high school students imprisoned for the anarchist uprisings in Santiago high schools and all those who from prison resist and struggle against the state and capital.

We send strength to Boris, Ivan and the anarchist prisoners in France. Strength for Erick King and the anarchist prisoners in the USA. Strength for Toby Shone in England. Strength for Gabriel and the anarchist prisoners in Spain. Strength for Giannis Michailidis and for anarchists imprisoned in Greece, Russia, the Czech Republic and around the world.

Strength for all anarchists who take action.

This attack is part of the international campaign of solidarity with anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike against Italian state-imposed isolation. Alfredo, this is for you.

For anarchist sedition against every expression of civilized domination!
By all means against authority! With caution and courage!
To multiply anarchist attacks against power!

Chile: Text of comrade Mónica Caballero with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike

Posted on 2022/11/25 by darknights

A few days ago, I received the news that the indomitable Alfredo Cospito started a hunger strike to stop the application of the 41 bis legal torture regime.

For those who do not know Alfredo Cospito, he is an anarchist comrade kidnapped by the Italian state, since 2012, for the attack against one of those responsible for the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. This action was attributed by the Olga FAI-IRF cell and assumed by Alfredo.

After this condemnation of the comrade, he has been prosecuted for several repressive operations, such as Scripta Manet, Sibilla, which have managed to get convictions and have added more years to the already long sentence of the comrade.

The 41 bis is basically a regime of total isolation, in which the prisoner is restricted, limited and censored in all his communications. Censorship is one of the main motivations that the Italian state has had to apply the 41 bis to Alfredo, the comrade has always had the opportunity to spread informal anarchist ideas that urge action, as in the same way, he has also been concerned to be part of the debates that various groups and individuals promote in different territories.

In this way Alfredo, despite all the difficulties, continues to be an active and very valuable comrade in the construction of destructive ideas. The powerful know that Alfredo’s pen is dangerous, that is why it is better to leave him in the cage, as small as possible and with as many eyes as possible that can control his every move.

Greece: Letter from anarchist prisoner Thanos Chatziangelou to the anarchist prisoners Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar, for the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners

Posted on 2022/11/16 - 2022/11/16 by darknights

DN: Missed from 18th August

Comrades Monica and Francisco,

These words travel to your side from a cell far from your own. They carry with them the same complicit thoughts that crush borders and walls. The same persistence and impatience to return to the paths of fire. These thoughts do not die every day on the bars and uniformed figures that separate us. They remain alive accompanying the same necessity for yet another coherent plan to deliver to fire and gunpowder the order and security of this aging world.

Day by day more and more pieces of sky are being given away to the steel grid. And one question torments my head more and more: is it the concrete that grows taller or is it bowing its head lower and lower? But life itself comes to answer. Prison will not defeat us, comrades. For we remain with the same pride, wholeheartedly committed to the horizon of overthrow.

New formations of direct action are being formed in the territories where we have hitherto declared ourselves irrevocably present. New plans of attack are taking shape, travelling to all the metropolitan centres the deafening necessity of attacking the exponents of violence and exploitation of the oppressed.

Travelling to the present day, the words of the Italian guerrillas of armed autonomy are necessary to remind our tyrants that uncertainty is the most unbearable thing. No matter how many years of captivity may pass, we will remain irrevocably committed to the vein of imprinting theory through practice, proudly defending the anarchist guerrilla war. We are the links in the coherence of the past, present and future of insubordination, rupture and subversion. We will not be broken by incarceration for a moment. For will and necessity in the face of captivity are like the hands of a clock: while time tries in vain to divide them, they traverse individual revolutionary paths beginning and ending always at the same point.

I send you my wholehearted sympathy while holding my breath for the hostilities to come. All our strength to the incarcerated international community of anarchist guerrilla warfare and a raised fist to every fighting initiative that insists on clashing head-on with the order of this world.

Immediate release of comrade Marcelo Vilarroel Sepulveda

We do not forget the revolutionaries everywhere who have honoured with their lives the barricades of proletarian violence.

Chile: 4 comrades arrested for the incendiary attack on the meat company “Susaron”

Posted on 2022/11/15 by darknights

On November 3, the BIPE (Brigade of Special Police Investigations) of the PDI arrested 4 comrades accused of the incendiary attack carried out by the ” Grupo de Respuesta Animal” on September 18, 2022 against trucks of the meat company “Susaron” in the commune of Quilicura.

The investigation would have allowed through surveillance cameras to track the car where they were moving, in addition to triangulating the signal of cell phones in the house where they had gathered before and after the incendiary attack.

Two comrades were also charged with possession of ammunition in the homes that were raided and the four were charged with arson.

The three comrades were taken to Santiago 1 prison/company and the comrade to San Miguel Prison.

Active solidarity with the arrested anti-speciesist comrades!

Chile: Communiqué of the “Anti-prison Solidarity Network with Juan and Marcelo” 15 years after the so-called Security Case

Posted on 2022/11/15 by darknights

15 YEARS AFTER THE SO-CALLED SECURITY CASE: MARCELO VILLARROEL AND JUAN ALISTE WITH THEIR FISTS RAISED IN DIGNIFIED RESISTANCE TO IMPRISONMENT AS STATE REVENGE.

On October 18, 2007, a group of people carried out a robbery at a branch of the Banco Security located in the center of Santiago in Chile. In the retreat, two police motorists who were alerted and went to the vicinity tried to stop part of the assailants and clashed with them shooting one policeman dead and the other wounded, thus the expropriators escaped from the police encirclement.

After the events and the death of the policeman, the state operations would be unleashed in a matter of weeks against a universe of subversive autonomous comrades who would be exposed in all the mass media of power: Freddy Fuentevilla (in the street), Carlos Gutiérrez (in the street), Juan Aliste and Marcelo Villarroel (still imprisoned) were immediately condemned by the media, the fabricated public opinion and the rulers in power, while the carabineros began the hunt against them, who were already in hiding, raiding the homes of relatives in Santiago, Valparaíso, Iquique and carrying out multiple operations in Mapuche territory.

Months later (2008) they would be arrested in Argentinean territory (Freddy and Marcelo), convicted (for carrying a weapon of war), spending 22 months in prison and then expelled to Chile. Then Juan would also be detained in Argentina (year 2010) and immediately expelled to Chile. In this way, already in this territory, the comrades would have to face a political trial that would finally condemn Marcelo to 14 years in September 2014 for 2 bank robberies and Juan to 42 years for the death of the policeman, the attempted death of the other policeman and 2 bank robberies. So clear are the figures and reasons why our comrades today are still kidnapped by the state in the prisons of their democracy.

Chile: Urgency requires forcefulness: Let’s get Alfredo Cospito out of isolation. Words from comrade Francisco Solar

Posted on 2022/10/28 - 2022/11/16 by darknights

The hunger strike as a tool of struggle is the last resort that the prisoner has to combat the suffocating life in prison. It is an extreme measure in which the body is used as the last trench of combat. The urgency determines the decision to carry out a struggle of these characteristics. An urgency that, undoubtedly, presents today the situation of comrade Alfredo Cóspito, whom the Power tries to silence under an insane isolation.

They perceived his actions as hard blows which, if replicated and multiplied, would put the imposed order in trouble.

They saw in his writings and proposals important contributions to seditious ideas and practices that constitute a danger to any expression of authority.

And they are not wrong.

For these reasons they have decided to apply the 41 bis to Alfredo. In the face of this onslaught we have no choice but to respond with strength, with decision, being clear that this is a struggle for Alfredo and for all of us who take a stand against power. Understanding the importance of fighting this battle, perceiving it as an opportunity to strengthen ties and complicities in an internationalism of action.

This is not a time for reflection or debate. It is a time for war, for violent irruption, to give life and strengthen that revolutionary solidarity that constitutes part of our practical arsenal that we know how to use.

Let us nourish ourselves of our past experiences to make the best of what is ours and let us crack this civic normality with forceful blows that demonstrate the danger of anarchic solidarity.

Let us leave aside the victimist discourses and let us attack Power wherever it is, since that is the only way we have to get Alfredo out of isolation and put an end to 41 bis. And the more forceful these attacks are, the greater their impact will be and, therefore, their capacity of incidence and irruption will increase, which will certainly strengthen the expressions of anarchic solidarity.

Let’s get Alfredo Cóspito out of isolation!

Let’s put an end to 41 bis!

Long live Anarchy!

Francisco Solar

Chile: Words of Mawvnhko. Public statement on the repeated violation of visiting rights and body search protocols

Posted on 2022/10/28 by darknights

A few weeks ago at San Miguel prison, the visiting and entrustment schedule was modified due to the cessation of COVID19 preventive measures. This adjustment consists of: One day of parcels (toiletries and clothing) and two days of visitation, with the condition that only the visit that is during the week is allowed the delivery of food from the outside (food bowls with food, fruits, snacks, among others).

Today, Wednesday, October 19, the prison only had 5 officials to carry out the protocol review, both of people and food. The visiting hours provided is from 09.00 to 11.30 hrs, at about 11.20 hrs there were still colleagues in the visiting area waiting to let in their relatives, even when the bell rang at the end of the visit, not all family members had entered, the right to visit was denied and they were only allowed to receive the bags with food and the family member had to leave immediately, in some cases the visit did not last more than 10 minutes.

To make the situation worse, the gendarmerie officers who carried out the body search protocol demanded that the people undress, forced the women to lower their underwear to make a vaginal inspection with a paddle that rubbed all those who were subdued, threatening that they would not let them enter if they did not give in. I speak of subjugation at this particular point since stripping is a totally forbidden practice and the sensors must be worn over the clothes. Under no circumstances can women be required to show their breasts, vagina or anus, since that is what the digital sensors are for. Faced with this situation, the officials responded that it is part of the protocol, that it has always been like that, when they were summoned regarding an informative poster that exists outside the prison about the body search, they responded that it was “old”, that it no longer exists.

We cannot continue to allow humiliation and denigration to be customary, although these practices have been normalized in the prison daily life, we must not allow them to continue or to go unnoticed, because this is how the jailers exceed their functions, turning the visit into a humiliating experience, totally humiliating. We should not continue to compromise our dignity just so that the jailer will grant us a visit, visits are NOT a benefit and we do not owe them thanks, they are a right explicitly stated in the Prison Regulations.
All these experiences are common in prisons throughout the territory, even I myself lived it when I visited other prisons. It is up to us to do something about it and not let these abusive practices continue!

Mawvnhko.
