Chile: Update on the final week of the trial against Aldo and Lucas Hernández

Posted on 2025/10/26 by darknights

The eleventh and final week of the trial against our comrades Aldo and Lucas came to an end. Following the closing arguments by the prosecution and the defense teams for both comrades, which were in response to the statements made by both sides in order to present their own theories, the prosecution was emphatic in pointing out the guilt of both defendants in the acts with which they were charged. Aldo was charged with crime No. 1, which corresponded to the attack on the National Gendarmerie Directorate, as well as crime No. 2, which was after the raids, for which he was charged with the items found in Loncura, Quintero, and crime No. 3, which involved Lucas and the items found at the La Victoria neighborhood residence, as noted in the previous update.

On October 3, the judges began the verdict hearing, in which Aldo was convicted of the attack, but acquitted of the crimes of 16 less serious injuries to gendarmerie officials and the crime of receiving stolen goods. Regarding incident No. 2, he was convicted of the crimes charged at the residence in Loncura, and regarding incident No. 3, he was acquitted of all crimes at the residence in La Victoria.

Lucas was convicted of the vast majority of the crimes at the residence in La Población La Victoria, except for the crimes of manufacturing weapons and manufacturing explosive devices, of which he was acquitted.

After the verdict, the sentencing phase began, which concluded with the plaintiffs requesting a sentence of 32 years and 1,100 days for Aldo and 18 years and 800 days for Lucas. On the defense side, they requested a sentence of 26 years for Aldo and 12 years for Lucas. The final outcome and length of the sentences will be determined by the judges on the day the sentence is read. At the same hearing, the date for the reading was set for Monday, November 3 of this year.

SOLIDARITY AND ACTION WITH OUR COMPAÑEROS ALDO AND LUCAS

$hile: Update on anarchist comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernández

Posted on 2025/03/22 by darknights

It has been more than two years since December 22, 2022, the day of several raids orchestrated by the South Metropolitan High Complexity Prosecutor’s Office, where six homes were raided, five of them in the Metropolitan Region and one in the Valparaiso Region, all searched by police groups OS9, GOPE and LABOCAR, resulting in six detainees, four of whom were remanded in custody. Two correspond to the brothers and comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernandez, in the course of the months the comrades will remain under investigation for the explosive attack on the National Directorate of Gendarmerie of Chile, Aldo is indicated as the alleged bomber of the device, he is also charged with crimes under the Law of Arms Control, as well as Lucas charged with various offenses under the Law of Arms and Explosives Control.

Months later, the comrades were asked for a re-formalization hearing, adding for both of them the case of manufacture of weapons and manufacture of explosive devices for various items found in the home raided in Pedro Aguirre Cerda.

In this process we have seen how the prosecution through trickery and dirty games have tried to harm and intimidate this environment with jail, seeking information and even informations in order to complete the investigation and to prove what the prosecution accuses, having a negative result to the harassment, since all the detainees after the raids have remained dignified and integrated to the mediocre attempts of the Prosecutor Claudio Orellana, demonstrating in practice complicity and loyalty to the principles of anti-authoritarian comradeship.

In the course of the months the comrades have lived diverse and different prison realities, since from the beginning the comrades have been separated trying to break their family ties without having contact and sharing the same physical space for more than two
years.

At this moment the comrades are waiting for the oral trial preparation hearing, which has already been postponed twice due to different legal situations.
While waiting for the trial, which has taken more than two years, the comrades are still unable to meet due to security issues, violating their rights to preserve the family ties that unite them.

In that trial they risk exemplary sentences, for comrade Aldo the prosecution requests a sentence of 90 years and for Lucas a sentence of 26 years, we point out that exemplary since this excessive amount of years only seeks to intimidate the environment and those who decide to return blow after blow without turning the cheek or waiting for illusory and idealized opportune moments to go after our enemies. The comrades remain intact and with the impetus intact to continue contributing to strengthen the anarchic walk outside and inside the prisons, clinging fiercely to their ideas and their values, contributing to various comrades who have been deprived of freedom like them, making their ideas a real threat to the range of harmful behaviors inside the prison and practicing prison solidarity, continuing to position themselves against the prison and their jailers inside their own homes (prisons).

The power continues to strike, reprisals are part of the daily life of our brothers. The last event was the transfer of Aldo to the maximum security module 2 in the prison of “La Gonzalina”, on December 24 last year, changing his prison regime. He is currently under a schedule of 21 hours of confinement and 3 hours of yard time, this added to restrictions such as the prohibition of electronic devices (TV, kettle and radios). This transfer was the result of a raid carried out in module 12 (module in which Aldo had been for two years) on December 18, in which the personal information of the 16 gendarmerie officers injured on the day of the attack to the national directorate on December 27 2021 was found inside Aldo’s cell. This information was contained in the respective investigative files of the case, which is why the high command of La Gonzalina decided to isolate him.

The practice of violence continues more than ever, and it is blood to pump the hearts of our brothers in prison. Each accurate action, propagandistic gesture reveals the vulnerability of a predatory system that is sustained by a false security that is nothing more than a breakable mask and within reach of our hands full of conviction and courage.

Actions such as attacks with weapons-bombs to institutions-police-apparatuses that protect the interests of power and the rich are just a sample of that, that the fear is felt by those who imprison us, that the bullets have names and surnames, that our energies are capable of creating what our imagination once thought, that every idea overflows in the minds of those who see that the violent struggle is possible.

Fire and death to the spectator, the scavenger, the martyr and the vulture.

Freedom for the convinced, certain and courageous who go against domination!

Anarchists, subversives and Mapuche prisoners to the streets!

Let’s dare to create the forbidden!

Make ideas a real threat!

Aldo and Lucas Hernandez to the streets!

Chile: Words more than 2 years after the attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmerie and 13 months after the imprisonment of the anarchist comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernandez.

Posted on 2024/02/05 by darknights

Words more than 2 years after the attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmeria of $hile and 13 months of imprisonment of the anarchist comrades Aldo and Lucas Hernandez.

During these days the nostalgia assaults, missing that air of the street envelops when waking up in these cells. It has been 12 months since the GOPE arrived bursting different doors of different spaces in which we transited or stepped on at some time.

We regret in the depths of our hearts that the bastard police exposed these beautiful little beings to so much violence, and that their eyes saw their despicable uniforms and weapons that were ready to meet and capture Aldo, so far the only one charged for the explosive attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmeria of Chile, and Lucas, charged for possession of various weapons and explosives.

The police did not care in the least about violating the basic rights of the children present in the different spaces raided.

We have lived the consequences and ups and downs of the prison world, where our convictions remain unyielding and more eager than yesterday to see this society collapse after an accurate blow to the heart of the repugnant social peace. During this year we have been separated as brothers and we have lived different prison processes. Aldo is in a highly dangerous module in the La Gonzalina Prison-Extermination Center, where he is the only political prisoner in the module. Lucas has been in different modules of the Santiago One Prison-Company. Being linked to the street, to the illegality and the cause that besieges us at present has influenced how we develop and position ourselves in our journey as prisoners, where he has had to face different prison situations.

We consider that in these situations it is extremely important to defend our position against society and prison, against prison and society: against prison society.

In spite of everything, we have learned to be attentive to different codes and frequencies, here, where blades and spears speak for themselves. Always with the intention that the metals are aimed at the jailers and not between prisoners.

We continue with our integrity intact, our illegal steps stepped hard on the streets, always intending more, never staying in the lesser evil or in the brute comfort, we broke with it and that is how we ventured into the boldness of the facts.

At present they are still investigating us, trying to find more and more, they will try to condemn us with the highest sentences they can, according to our different crimes, exemplary sentences as happened recently with our compañero Francisco Solar.

For us the only example is the coherence of continuing to take a stand against domination from the very house of the jailers.

Be clear that the ideas and revolutionary action is bulletproof and shackle-proof. These are the consequences of our anarchic and free existence, we assume the costs without fear, no prosecutor or court will make us feel the despair, much less bend us. They are the ones who fear us, not us.

They are the cowards, not those of us who, determined, walk with our dead by our side and with the death that, many times, accompanies us in every illegal movement and in every action.

Hundreds of personal-political projects were put on hold, even so, from these dungeons, we remain clear and willing to continue contributing to the anarchist struggle that walks firm and determined for the destruction of power, its servants and all the existing prison society.

Life is fragile and none is the exception.

A fraternal greeting to the different comrades who worthily face their days in the different prisons of the world.

Fire to the prison and its jailers!

Death to the dominant lie!

With clear and sharper ideas nothing is over, the war continues.

Long live anarchy.

Santiago, $hile: Claim for incendiary exit for the Paco day at the Universidad Academia de Humanismo Cristiano & International Call for the Black May

Posted on 2023/05/01 by darknights

Received & transmitted:

SANTIAGO, $HILE: CLAIM OF INCENDIARY EXIT FOR THE PACO DAY1 AT THE UNIVERSIDAD ACADEMIA DE HUMANISMO CRISTIANO AND INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR A BLACK MAY.

On Thursday April 27 as affinities we broke into the normal functioning of the university citizenship of the UAHC to celebrate the day of the paco in the way we like the most: with street violence. We set up a barricade of debris to interrupt the Condell traffic and thus invoke the bastards to fight them with Molotov cocktails. While we waited, we set fire to the electricity pole of a surveillance camera located at Obispo Salas and Condell. In this context, the response of the ratis2 was not long in coming; helmets, shotguns, bullet-proof vests and a shield were timidly placed outside their gate to intimidate and provoke our action. Unfortunately, we did not take the bait and waited for the police onslaught in order to fight back in a more optimal way, not as a sign of cowardice towards the ratis (we always went straight at them, even provoking them with a couple of Molotovs on the ground and stones), but knowing that if we attacked them directly, they would unleash an onslaught of shots and the panic could have caused a worse accident given the crowd of people in the street.

In this context, the wait for the police onslaught took almost two hours, which exacerbated the spirits of several of us. During this wait, a citizen-cop threatened us in a stupid and naive way with the intention of hitting us. A brief scuffle broke out and ended with his precious car out of service thanks to a Molotov that set fire to the driver’s seat of the car. We are not ashamed to attack the material goods of those who try to act as police without wearing a uniform; they more than deserve it.

After two hours of long and tedious waiting, the guanaco3 located at Condell and Providencia begins to advance while from Rancagua and Condell another guanaco also advances, trying to make a “trap” strategy. It is at this moment when we launched a couple of Molotovs, which triggered the advance of the ratis, covering themselves with the guanaco to proceed to execute about 9 shots, which left a person from the university wounded in his skull.

After this offensive, we continued the confrontation with Molotov cocktails inside the vicinity of the university. It is at that moment when the guanaco threw water directly into the face of a student.

Apart from any useless victimhood, we know that in the face of our inflammatory provocation they will do the impossible to see us imprisoned/dead; we are proud enemies of power and we are consistent with that, our lives are always open to the possibility of jail or death. Moreover, we also know that these events occur in this way because the precious government of the progressive bourgeoisie has given unlimited guarantees to its forces of order, all this under the neo-fascist rhetoric of “citizen security”. The trigger-happy law does nothing more than evidence the political crisis of progressivism and the unrestricted union of the entire political class. The progressive sector has not been able to repress subversion under the counterinsurgency mechanisms of social democracy (recuperation, democratization, grassroots politicking, etc.) and has given ground to the rhetoric of punitive populism, which leaves them only one option to safeguard their reputation: self-perpetuate at gunpoint.

It should be noted that, in addition, during this day simultaneous confrontations occurred at the Liceo Barros Borgoño (with a compa run over by the cops), Liceo 1 (with several detainees), INBA, Liceo de Aplicación, the former Pedagógico (where the cops attacked entering the university), among other establishments that were also occupied after the riots.

In relation to all that happened during that day, it is worth reflecting on the means of attack that we use in the face of the armed threat of the police in the context of trigger-happy behavior. We know that the police have always shot at us at random, however, this cannot remain just an inconsequential chant that says “all the bullets will be returned” while standing idly by. It is our certainty that those bullets do not return on their own and that when they least expect it we return them with ferocity and that in those moments they exhibit all their cowardice when they see us armed… Yes, this is also a threat.

It is time to study new means, new objectives, to qualify the attack, to strike harder and harder and to be unpredictable and invisible to the eyes of power. In a self-critical way we think that if we have to make incendiary exits we cannot only arm ourselves with Molotov bombs, paint or stones. It is necessary that our offensive puts their miserable lives at risk and that they feel the taste of blood in their mouths. Enough of raising banners waiting for them to stop shooting and killing us and let’s take arms into our hands not only in the peripheries of the city, but also in the heart of the metropolis; without leadership, without platforms, without vanguards, without leaders, informally and among like-minded individuals to unleash the anarchic war against all the existent.

For these reasons and more, we call for the multiplication of anarchic urban guerrilla actions throughout the world, making an Internationalist Call for a BLACK MAY in memory of comrade Mauricio Morales and in solidarity with Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar as their oral trial is about to begin on May 19. We leave you these words to be spread around all the black threads of the world, dedicated to those who have ears to hear them, minds to reflect and hearts to take action and explode in rebellion.

SOLIDARITY AND ARMED COMPLICITY WITH MÓNICA, FRANCISCO, MAWUNKO, TOMÁS, THE COMRADES OF THE SUSARON CASE AND THE GENDARMERÍA CASE!
UNLEASH REVENGE THIS MAY 1ST FOR FRANCISCA SANDOVAL AGAINST THE TRAFFICKERS-COPS OF CENTRAL STATION!
ANARCHIC SOLIDARITY WITH THE INDEFATIGABLE COMRADE ALFREDO COSPITO!
UNLEASH THE NEW ANARCHIST URBAN GUERRILLA AGAINST ALL THE EXISTENT!
FOR A BLACK MAY FULL OF EXPLOSIONS AND SOLIDARITY!
LONG LIVE THE BLACK INTERNATIONAL!

La Paz, Bolivia: Claim of the placement of an incendiary device against a police van

Posted on 2023/04/15 by darknights

Recieved & transmitted:

In the early morning of April 6, around 3:30 a.m. on Mariscal Santa Cruz Avenue, between Oruro and Cochabamba streets, four half-liter bottles filled with gasoline were placed on one of the front wheels of a police van parked in the middle of downtown La Paz, tied with tape and a simple activation system (consisting of incense with matches tied at one end).

Even if the strategy of power is to silence and make invisible the antagonistic practices, they will continue to be present, seeking to stress and intensify the conflict on all horizons.They know the potential of spreading the attack, and so do we.

It is a commitment to continue this struggle that other comrades have been waging for more than a century against power, capital, the state and all forms of authoritarianism. Let us give life to anarchic praxis here and now, responding to structural violence with revolutionary action. Let them doubt the security of their surveillance systems, let them tremble at the possibility of fire. Let them know that their system of misery does not have us all subdued, asleep, defeated. Let us recover the life they want to steal from us, attacking the infrastructure that protects the oppressor, one blow at a time, until the attack becomes customary, until the normal thing is to see them burn.

When power punishes with long sentences, torture, solitary confinement, isolation and death, the present challenge demands concrete and offensive action. A constant action that is not limited to the times of power, that is that is more than just a reaction to repression.

It is time to aim at strengthening ties between like-minded people, breaking down borders, empowering our borders, empower our capacities, educate ourselves in the necessary knowledge to knowledge necessary to qualify our skills, without bosses or leaders. without bosses or leaders.

Let’s conspire for the comrades in prison to go out to the streets. Beyond the slogans, let us slogans, let us make it clear that they are not alone, with all the means at our disposal. Long live all the efforts of the anarchic struggle!

All the states are accomplices of oppression, all are one and the same force of subjugation, the entire of subjugation, all the police the same enemy of liberation.

This action is in solidarity with Alfredo Cóspito, who is on strike since October 20 against the 41 bis regime and life imprisonment in the territory in conflict with the Italian state. Alfredo present in the action in the streets!

A complicit greeting to Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar who will soon face trial will face oral trial risking decades of imprisonment. To Aldo and Lucas Hernandez, arrested and accused for the explosive attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmerie in the territory in conflict with the Chilean state. Strength comrades, nothing is over, everything continues.

Internationalist and insurrectionist solidarity with the prisoners in struggle in the prisons of the world!
For the destruction of the prisons and the society that needs them!
Freedom to the prisoners!
Death to the state, long live Anarchy!

Athens, Greece: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INCENDIARY ATTACK ON A CAR DEALERSHIP by Carnivalists of fire

Athens: CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INCENDIARY ATTACK ON A CAR DEALERSHIP

“Fortune knows that we defy it, and the more it beats us, the more we despise it.” William Shakespeare

In a few months, as we all know, the four-year rule of new democracy with Kyriakos Mitsotakis as prime minister will come to its “happy” end. Before the government even started, it promised many times that (like another Papadopoulos (dictator leader on 70s) it would ”crack down on anarchy” thus declaring open war on all anarchist-revolutionary-rebellious parts of society.

After 4 years of evictions of squats, bans on strikes and marches, State murders, extreme repression and imprisonment of innocent but proudly ‘guilty’ comrades, we are still here. Although we have had some resounding disappointments and defeats (let us not hide behind our finger) we proudly declare that the anarchist revolutionary movement has not fallen and will never fall without a fight. And that is the only way we ought to look to the continuation of our struggle. For unlike theirs our way has no end. Our road is eternal, etched with the blood of those who sacrificed for Anarchy and Freedom and carved in the footsteps of fire.

That is why we are taking responsibility for the incendiary attack on a car dealership in Kallithea at dawn on 12/2, which, make no mistake, was not for extortion or for blackmail, as the media declared the next day, but as a small blow to the image of normality, security and social peace that prevails in Greek society. We dedicate this attack to all our comrades who, unrepentantly and without fear, still look the enemy in the eye and take it on. Because the ruins of a ‘beautiful’ delegation that tries to cover up the vulgarity of society will always fill us with satisfaction.

Vulgarity that takes its cruelest form inside the prisons in an attempt to physically and mentally dehumanise the prisoners and cut them off from the rest of society, reinforcing the already existing social apathy. But make no mistake! The spirit is not flattened and the voices are not silenced. A prime example is the struggle of the prisoners inside Greek prisons that has been going on for months against the new Penitentiary Law and continues despite the vindictive transfers. We stand proudly by your side!

“Thy wild dogs want liberty; they bark for joy in their cellar when thy spirit endeavoureth to open all prison doors.” Nietzsche

Solidarity with the hunger striker Alfredo Cospito

Strength to comrade Thanos Hatzianggelou who carried out a hunger and thirst strike against his vindictive transfer

Solidarity to the 4 comrades who were imprisoned for the attack on the Piraeus traffic police, to the 4 who are being prosecuted for the ”comrades-compañeras” case and to Kostas Dimalexis who was imprisoned for the attack on Real

$hile: Words of the anarchist prisoner Aldo Hernández Valdés from a cell of module 12 of the prison “la gonzalina” Rancagua

Posted on 2023/01/08 - 2023/01/08 by darknights

I have decided to write a few lines in which I would like to deeply thank the anonymous and critical support that I have received through these solid walls that today enclose me.

More than a decade ago I decided to take the ideas, and try to reflect with actions what I carried in this black heart. I knew it was a duel to the death, to fight this prison society and all those who sustain this model of misery.

History has been stained with our unyielding and fighting blood. The restlessness of the beautiful minds helps us to keep present, our fallen and at the same time gives us clarity of those who deserve our insurrectional convictions. It sustains all our eternal contempt for authority and for anyone who takes from us the beauty of freedom. Freedom that is treasured in our black hearts.

To thank the concern of the different political prisoners who have been attentive since I arrived at this extermination center.

To Juan Aliste and Marcelo Villarroel who from the first moment communicated to know about my situation.

To the close embrace with Comandante Ramiro of encouragement and strength. Continue reading “$hile: Words of the anarchist prisoner Aldo Hernández Valdés from a cell of module 12 of the prison “la gonzalina” Rancagua” →

Chile: Text of anarchist prisoner Lucas Hernandez from prison/company Santiago 1

Posted on 2023/01/08 by darknights

In the early morning of December 22, 2022, after a series of raids conducted by the South Metropolitan High Complexity Prosecutor’s Office, as part of an investigation into an explosive attack on the National Directorate of the Chilean Gendarmerie…

Two comrades were arrested, my brother/comrade and I.

On that 22nd day, the official press published our faces as a trophy, making a spectacle of us. And as usual, condemning in advance all those who decide to rebel against this world of control and punishment.

Those who dictate and control our confinement do not take into account the anarchist solidarity, solidarity that approves of walls and confinement, of bullets and shackles. Solidarity that we could feel from the first moment we arrived at the module where I am. We were received with full and fraternal hands by the comrades charged in the Susaron case.

In these lines I want to thank all those who have been concerned about us: The family, my compañeros, friends, anonimxs and those who share the ideas that overflow my heart and individual thinking. A hug for all of them. Continue reading “Chile: Text of anarchist prisoner Lucas Hernandez from prison/company Santiago 1” →

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!
