Chile: Words of anarchist & subversive prisoners for the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners

Posted on 2022/09/11 - 2022/09/11 by darknights

A complicit greeting. Francisco Solar’s words for the Week of Solidarity with the Anarchist Prisoners

Revolutionary, anarchic solidarity is a mutual relationship that requires in an indispensable way a clear and decisive positioning of war both from the prisoners and from the like-minded environments of the street. On this basis, this week of solidarity with the anarchist prisoners comes to strengthen this relationship based on combat, which is nothing other than the existing complicity that threatens every expression of authority.

To break with welfarism and victimhood is to stop seeing the prisoner as an unquestionable subject by the mere fact of his or her situation of temporary confinement. Therefore, it is also to break with practices that tend to hierarchize and become authoritarian. It is essential to keep this in mind at all times in order to strengthen the anarchic anti-prison struggle.

A complicit salute to all groups and individuals who make their own the war against authority, which is inseparable from the anarchic struggle against prisons. Their actions and attacks are an important respite from the oppressive prison life.

A complicit greeting also to all the anarchist prisoners locked up around the world. A special embrace for comrade Alfredo Cóspito who is in an exceptional situation of imprisonment that the Power intends to make it perpetual.

An end to the sentences of the military justice on Marcelo Villarroel!

Let the prisons explode!

Chile: In view of the sentences requested by the prosecutors, solidarity and complicity with Monica and Francisco!

Posted on 2022/08/30 - 2022/08/30 by darknights

On July 24, 2020, comrades Monica and Francisco are arrested in two repressive operations. The authorities accuse Francisco of sending explosive packages against the former Minister of the Interior Rodrigo Hinzpeter and the 54th police station of Huechuraba (Action occurred on July 24, 2019, claimed by “Cómplices Sediciosos/Facción para la Venganza”), while both are accused of the double explosive attack against the Edificio Tánica in the commune of Vitacura (Action occurred in full revolt, on February 27, 2020, claimed by “Afinidades Armadas en Revuelta”).

During these more than two years of imprisonment, Monica has remained in the module of public connotation of the San Miguel prison while Francisco was initially imprisoned in the maximum security section of the CAS but then transferred, along with other comrades, in June 2021 to the La Gonzalina prison in Rancagua, where he is currently being held.

It is fundamental to emphasize that both of them in this time of confinement have been a permanent contribution to the anarchist and social war debates through their writings, communiqués and articles, realizing that prison is not the end of anything but another trench from where to give continuity to the insurrectional struggle and that its walls, bars and cages are not enough to break the solidarity and complicity among the anarchists. It is also from that place where we must situate that Francisco assumed the facts he is accused of, thus giving validity and validity to an anarchism of offensive action and the need for the continuity of his blows.

Chile: Two years after our imprisonment. Monica and Francisco’s words from prison

Posted on 2022/08/06 by darknights

We have always prioritized not having intermediaries when it comes to communicating, that no one speaks for us and in these days that we will be two years since those who support the hegemony of power and force locked us in these concrete pits called prisons, will be no exception.

This second year of imprisonment will bring with it the end of the investigative period of our legal process, that is to say that the period in which the prosecution and the ten prosecutors could gather information against us, will end. The closing of the investigation opens an intermediate process prior to the trial.

The judicial investigation against us has spared no resources; the police have made great efforts not to leave any loose end. The aim with us is to give an exemplary sentence that will frighten anyone who makes the practice of political violence their own, especially with regard to the placing and sending of explosive devices. Furthermore, we are not unknown to the powerful; on more than one occasion we have been seated in the dock, and in all of them we have made clear our anarchic position. Our current legal situation is closely linked to our previous judicial processes.

We are self-critical with respect to our mistakes at the time of our actions, each one of them are part of our experience and learning, which we hope will also serve for others. We feel part of a long road of struggles against domination, a historical road that changes according to the different conflict scenarios. Continue reading “Chile: Two years after our imprisonment.

Chile: On anarchist prisoner Marcelo Villarroel’s sentence computation review hearing

Posted on 2022/07/22 - 2022/07/22 by darknights

Today, July 5, the sentence computation review hearing in favor of Marcelo Villarroel took place before Judge Carolina Gajardo, of the 7th Guarantee Court of Santiago. In this hearing, Marcelo’s defence denounced before the Court the illegality of the Gendarmerie’s action of increasing by 21 years the minimum time of his effective sentence to be eligible for parole. Before this modification, he could have applied for parole in December 2019. This action, covered by the modification of DL 321 by law 21.124 in December 2019, violates a series of fundamental guarantees, especially the non-retroactivity of criminal law and the principle of in dubio pro reo, established in the Constitution (art. 19 n3), in the Criminal Code (art. 18) and in a series of international human rights treaties ratified and prevailing in Chile.

The Prosecutor’s Office was also present, represented by prosecutor Arturo Gómez, who argued that Marcelo must still serve sentences of more than 30 years, given the sentences of the Military Prosecutor’s Office, and that this request of the defence had already been resolved in a negative manner by the Court on repeated occasions, and should therefore be rejected (despite the fact that this is the first action for sentence computation).

In the pleadings, the National Institute of Human Rights also appeared, whose delegate referred to read the general conclusions of a report they prepared in the year 2021 on this matter, in which they provide the grounds for which this modification of Decree Law 321 has been applied in violation of fundamental guarantees of persons deprived of liberty. However, at the hearing, this entity did not express its opinion in relation to the specific case for which its assistance was requested and which was being discussed (despite the fact that this same report explicitly refers to the case of Marcelo Villarroel), even stating that this matter should be resolved by the trial judge.

Finally, Judge Carolina Gajardo rejected the request, basing her decision on the fact that this discussion had already been settled previously and in various instances, and that she was not competent to rule on the actions of the Gendarmerie, leaving Marcelo without legal protection.

The legal team is already preparing the appeal to this resolution, as well as the different motions that will continue to be filed until Marcelo is released.

AGAINST THE PERPETUITY OF THE CONVICTIONS!

FOR THE ANNULMENT OF THE SENTENCES OF MILITARY JUSTICE FOR COMRADE MARCELO VILLARROEL!!!

AGITATE, PROPAGATE, INSIST, PERSIST!!!

Santiago, Chile: Explosive attack against Belasco construction company in Las Condes + Claim by “Grupo de Acción 6 de Julio-Nueva Subversión”

Posted on 2022/07/11 by darknights

During the night of Tuesday, July 5, around 23:00hrs an anonymous cyclist was riding through the wealthy streets of Las Condes to stop at the intersection of Ebro and Encomenderos.

In the place is located the corporate building of the construction company Belasco, the anonymous cyclist manages to enter a small package through the fence to give towards the interior of the building. After a few minutes, the device explodes, causing damage to the facade, mainly to the pillar, the entrance gate and glass of the building.

The unknown silhouette manages to continue its course without any problem or being detected. The typical police personnel for these events arrive at the place: GOPE, LABOCAR, OS-9 in charge of the already traditional Fiscalia Sur, self-styled expert for these cases.

From the progressive government, the Minister of the Interior Izkia Siches said: “the investigations are in progress, I am aware of it and we hope that they will be able to give a quick account. These are facts that we obviously reject as a government and we hope they will not be repeated in our country”.

For his part, the Undersecretary of the Interior, Manuel Monsalve, said: “We must not anticipate judgments, there are audiovisual images of the person who placed the explosive device, with respect to the company Besalco”.

Santiago, Chile: Incendiary attack in Macul and Grecia + Claim of the “Célula Warriache Matías Catrileo”.

Posted on 2022/06/25 by darknights

On June 10, 2022, at dusk, a group of hooded people leaves one of the existing university campuses in the sector of Macul and Grecia to cut the street, erect barricades and confront the police with firebombs.

On more than a few occasions this year there have been confrontations on that corner as well as in other educational establishments, used as an excuse to propagate the fight against power. Most of the time these confrontations are vindicated by pamphlets and banners, about some aspect of the struggle in particular. This time the comrades sent a communiqué to different pages of counter information from the “Warriache Matias Catrileo Cell” in an open dialogue with other groups of action and urban guerrilla existing in the territory dominated by the Chilean State.

Incendiary action
(sent to noticiasdelaguerrasocial(a)gmail.com)

“Those who decide to rebel against the misery implanted at birth only know two destinies: jail and death, we whisper a third option, THE ATTACK“.

In the face of this new restructuring of the state-capital with a pro-green face, which comes only to continue and perfect the police-military-neoliberal-extractivist regime to which they are trying to subject us by all means, we consider it necessary to advance in the accumulation and coordination of revolutionary forces, which, from multiple guerrillas, are ready to overthrow this system of misery and death at its roots.

This time, irreducible individualities we set out to twist the established order directly confronting their henchmen, suddenly shining on their ugly machines, in order to contribute to the ongoing war, adding this focus of street confrontation with the aim of hindering the flow of the decadent productive normality of Santiago, on a Friday, in coordination with the various demonstrations and activities that were happening at that time in that city.

Santiago, Chile: Arson attack against telecommunications antenna

Posted on 2022/06/13 by darknights

Attack carried out on the night of Sunday, June 5, 2022.

“Certain human cultures have been waging war against the Earth for millennia. I chose to fight on the side of bears, mountain lions, skunks, bats, saguaros, cliff roses and all things wild.”
Bill Rodgers, ELF member.

It has been 13 years since our comrade Mauricio Morales, the punky, left his earthly life in the midst of the offensive that with courage and will he raised against the tortured bastards of the gendarmerie school. Unfortunately, the explosive device he was carrying started earlier than expected, generating the consequences already known by many. We embrace punky and his actions from the depths of our irreducible spirit, meeting him on different fronts: against prisons, capital, speciesism and civilization.

It is in this last front, responding to the call to raise the memory of punky in this Black May, is that we have decided to attack a telecommunications antenna of the Entel company, located on a hill in the commune of Puente Alto, in the capital of the territory dominated by the Chilean state. We are and will always be against the advance of technology and the digitalization of our lives. The existence of these means the exploitation and devastation of the ñuke mapu, the extraction of its minerals through the genocide of wild species in pursuit of the filthy commodities needed by the warriors to reproduce their cursed existence. Antennas like this one erode their natural environment, both at the time of their installation, as well as in the recurrent maintenance they require. Moreover, the effects on the different beings produced by a world overloaded with electromagnetic waves through these antennas and new technologies such as the 5G network are doubtful. We are not scientists nor do we pretend to prove that they do harm, but the invitation of our instinct to destroy them is enough for us.

Santiago, Chile: (Updated) Explosive Attack against Gendarmerie Officers Circle in Retirement + Claim of “Célula Insurreccional 2 de Noviembre”.

Posted on 2022/06/03 - 2022/06/03 by darknights

During the early morning of May 26, 2022, around 1:00 a.m., two hooded men ride a bicycle to the building where the miserable torturers “in retirement” remain. The Circle of Gendarmerie Officials in Retirement (CIRGENCHI), located in José Toribio Medina # 72, in the heart of downtown Santiago.

The unknown persons left a device to leave quickly without being detected or attracting attention. Soon after, a loud explosion occurs, alerting the neighbors, without causing any damage or injuries.

Police personnel quickly arrived and the case was taken to the South Prosecutor’s Office, which delegated its proceedings to personnel from GOPE, LABOCAR and OS9. At first it was reported that a fire extinguisher with its normal chemical powder charge was found in the place, but with the passing of time this information will be denied by the protagonists.

The attack is claimed by the “Célula Insurreccional 2 de Noviembre” through e-mails to different counter-information pages, specifying the explosive nature of the device, as well as directly linking the action to the commemoration of the death of Mauricio Morales in 2009 and the urgent campaign for the release of Marcelo Villarroel, imprisoned by the convictions of the Military Prosecutor’s Office.
It is also noted that this attack was carried out in coordination with the arson attack on the medialuna of the commune of Pedro Aguirre Cerda, by the Grupo de Respuesta Animal (Animal Response Group).

The attack of May 2022 is not the first against this enclosure, already at the end of April 2016 the Autonomous Fraction “Sole y Baleno” carried out an arson attack against the same Circle of Gendarmerie Officials in Retiro, generating considerable damages.

Claiming of explosive attack against the Gendarmerie Officers Circle in Retiro

“We arrive at our stop. We stop. The air is silent. A moment more, an instant. A wall, the floor, my hands, the bicycle, my partner, the stony street, the polluted city, the prison order, the night, the silence… Everything explodes”.

HOW THE PRISON BASTARDS TREMBLE!

Through this email we claim responsibility for the bomb attack perpetrated in the early morning of Thursday, May 26, 2022 against the Circle of Officials of the Retired Gendarmerie (CIRGENCHI) located in José Toribio Medina #72, Brasil neighborhood, in the heart of downtown Santiago.

Santiago, Chile: Attack against the security company Fullclean Security operated by the mutilator policeman Claudio Crespo + Claim of Células Revolucionarias Mauricio Morales

Posted on 2022/05/27 by darknights

During the night of May 20, 2022, a loud explosion woke up the neighbors in the Ñuñoa district. The noise came from the company Fullclean Security in street Román Díaz #2161.

The innocent company is in the name of Claudio Crespo, recognized policeman who participated in a series of eye mutilations during the revolt of 2019, among them the complete blindness of Gustavo Gatica.

The artifact did not cause structural damage or injuries, and OS-9 and Labocar personnel quickly arrived at the scene, who found parts of cables, timers and battery. The South Prosecutor’s Office took charge of the investigation, with no arrests so far.

Shortly after, the Cellulas Revolucionarias Mauricio Morales claimed responsibility for the attack by e-mail.

*Claim of explosive attack against Fullclean Security.

We have attacked with explosives the private security company of Claudio Crespo Guzmán, ex-cop mutilator, cocaine addict and part of the shock groups of fascism in Chile!

The night of Friday, May 20, the Black May, we went to Fullclean Security in Román Díaz Street #2161, Ñuñoa, to harass this mercenary who, finding it impossible to continue repressing in uniform, has set up a private company to exercise power and control as a means of subsistence.

In this place it is evident that both the state and private surveillance business maintain a necessary relationship to perpetuate their privileges and authority. Repressive activities are an essential part of its validation mechanism, therefore, there is not and will not be a State that does not imprison, mutilate or murder those who stand in its way of devastation and permanent violence. These actions correspond to the continuity of a state policy that transcends the governments in power, be they right-wing, left-wing, plurinational or conventional. There is no need to separate the leaders from the mafia: all authority is equally bad.

Chile: CALL FROM THE PRISONS OF THE CHILEAN STATE. Communiqué of anarchist and subversive prisoners

Posted on 2022/05/14 - 2022/05/14 by darknights

Joining wills and consciences for the return to the streets of comrade Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda.

“No one will be able to erase the history of offensive resistance outside and inside Chilean prisons because in this is the commitment of hundreds of comrades and accomplices throughout the world who do not and will not stop until they see the last bastion of the prison society fall.”

-Necessary Clarities on Prison

Politics in today’s chile….

Various related networks.

February 2022.

A year ago, at this time, we were conducting a hunger strike that lasted 50 days demanding the repeal of the amendments to DL 321, the annulment of the sentences of military prosecution and thus the release to the street of our comrade Marcelo Villarroel.

Today we give a new impulse to this struggle, which is fully in force, persisting as a collective priority in the return to the street of Marcelo, in whom are condensed clear and unacceptable legal aberrations that go beyond the very legality of power.

Marcelo was arrested in Argentina in March 2008 where he spent 22 months in prison, then he was expelled to Chile and today he is just over a year and a half away from serving a 14-year sentence for two bank robberies carried out in 2007, the comrade is also being held captive by a series of sentences from the early 90’s issued by the military prosecutors of Pinochet that amount to more than 46 years and with this they intend to bury him in prison perpetuating his sentences in the midst of an unacceptable complicit silence of all the structures that affirm the political, legal, police and penitentiary framework of the Chilean state.
