Greece: On the case of the bomb explosion in a bank in Thessaloniki where my former co-defendant S. Paraskevaidou lost her life – Fotis Tziotzis

Posted on 2025/06/02 - 2025/06/04 by darknights

“Lies were told that even they themselves were ashamed, since they were not ashamed of the mouths that told them.”

All these days I have been watching the vile and unsubstantiated ridiculousness from the media slugs.

At first I thought that because of their low intelligence, I thought that these people could not put the facts in the right order. But now I now realize that some higher ups in the system are using them to shape-distort the truth and facts. It is a very dangerous and standard tactic used by the government media to mislead the public and impose their political agenda. Without of course in any way comparing cases, it is the same people who dare to slander the relatives of the victims of Tempi and cover up the case. It’s us they think we’re easy targets they’ll stick to; but are we?

To set the record straight.

  • I have nothing to do with this particular case no matter how much the police and media may have a burning desire to implicate me, and whatever they may try to “cook up” in the future.
  • I will simply report some of their lies to expose their game.
  1. The media keeps saying that during my previous arrest, Snizana was carrying a bag of weapons on my behalf. The truth is that she was acquitted in court as it was proven that she never carried any backpack with weapons.
  2. The media tells about the close relationship I had with Snizana, the visits I made with her in prison and our daily communication. The truth is that both the visits and the telephone communications are recorded, which means that once again they are proven to be lying as there is none of the above.
  3. The media these days are saying and falsely photographing me that I have taken responsibility and sent e-mails, while the truth is that another person has taken responsibility, has already given a statement to the police (Greek FBI) about the incident and has been called to testify to the relevant investigator next week. NOT ME as the media would like.

Now it’s time for me to speak up!

Listen. Pretenderis, Chasapopoule, Panou, Iliou and telecops Balaska and Kaliakmanis. You are pawns and beggars of the euro. You are hunters of one minute of publicity, you are just minions. Know that your bosses may go around with a bunch of puffed up people and eat with golden spoons, throwing you a dry spoon, but at the end of the day you are always alone and expendable. No matter how many labels you put on me, no matter how many catchy nicknames you give me, no matter how many lies and inaccuracies you serve up to the world. You are exposed.

The time for people to believe you is over. The absolution has come to an end.

Someone used to say that whoever sets out to seek revenge must dig two graves. You think you’ve dug mine, but have you dug yours? Or do you think my life is over in prison?

Santiago, Chile: Incendiary outburst claim at Ex-pedagogico (UMCE) in memory of Martina and Mylan [Updated]

Posted on 2025/04/25 - 2025/04/30 by darknights

In the framework of the centenary of the Club Social y Deportivo Colo-Colo we vindicate the political and social history of our club, dissociating ourselves from the narrative that the B$N company and the Chilean state want to impose on us, we break the commercial party that they have wanted to impose on us due to the MURDER of Martina1 and Mylan by state agents on Thursday, April 10.

It has not only been 100 years of rebellion, but also 100 years of assassinations against the popular class. Which have not received justice, this is why we throw ourselves into the uncertain but necessary path of revenge and street fighting.

We do not forget Neko, Cristian Valdebenito, Ariel Moreno, Alex Nuñez, Pantruka2, Mylan, Martina and all those murdered by the state and drug traffickers who have subjected our people to misery and have used Colo Colo for their dirty business and distorting the important historical work of the club in social and political matters.

Against the state, the narco and all authority.

ANARCHISTS OF THE GB

(1) Martina Riquelme (18) and Mylan Liempi (13) were run over and killed by a police tear gas car at one of the entrances to the Monumental stadium in the Macul district. The hit and run occurred when the police vehicle attacked a group of Colo-Colo fans who were trying to enter the stadium in an “avalanche”.

(2) Jorge Mora “Neco”, on January 28, 2020 is run over and killed by a police car in the vicinity of the Monumental stadium, the murder occurred after the return of the local league matches in full revolt, a situation that generated rejection in sectors of the soccer bars and there were some protests outside the stadiums.

Cristian Valdebenito was killed on March 7 after being hit in the head by a tear gas bomb thrown by the police during street clashes in the context of the riot.

Ariel Moreno is killed on January 29, 2020 after being shot by police during protests following the death of Jorge Mora “Neco”.

Álex Núñez is murdered on October 21, 2019, in the middle of the revolt when he is captured by the police and brutally beaten, he goes home but due to his injuries he has to go to the hospital where he dies because of the internal damage he had.

Iván Umaña “Pantruka”, was killed in April 2010 when he was run over by a water cannon truck in the vicinity of the Monumental stadium.


Attached is a text published in some pages where the group “Colocolinxs Antiautoritarixs”.

Because we are rebels by essence! Let’s go comrades to organize the revenge!

Once again the miserable police snatches Colocolinxs fans away from us. In 15 years the monopoly of state violence has gone unpunished in the streets around Pedreros, first killing Pantruca, then Neco and yesterday Mylan and Martina, 13 and 18 years old respectively.

We are not surprised by the classism, the carelessness or the lack of concern with which the “good citizen” has justified the police actions, nor by the putrid level of the scavenging press under the control of the powerful. It seems to be that there is always a valid reason for the guardians of order and private property to shoot, mutilate, run over or disappear, it seems that only they can attack with advantage and kill without consequences, that is why we are categorical in affirming that the avalanche does not kill, the police do.

An armored car of the Plasan TPV Sandcat type of Zionist origin -paradoxical, isn’t it? -They were not satisfied with that, they had the arrogance to disturb and attack the families of the murdered inside the hospitals. How does the press justify that? They did not show it, it did not exist, moreover, while they repeated in unison the discourse of crime and “the false fans”, the families made lucatones to face the funeral expenses. How does the “good citizen”, of good manners and morally impeccable justifies it? They simply overlook it, because in their servile logics and systematic inclusion there is no room to criticize the custodian of power. In this last sector is located a great portion of colocolinxs fans, these fans apparently do not know that in the sectors of Arica and Lautaro it is common that with or without avalanche, with or without riots, the police gasses you, wets you, imposes you an enclosure between horses, beats you because they can, because they can… because there is no resistance against the disproportion of forces between them and us. These fans are the same ones who repeat incessantly that the “club is above all”, the same ones who whistle when the team plays slow or backwards.

We ask ourselves, what is the limit of “the club is above all”? We as anarchists consider that no one is above us, no institution, collective or individuality oppresses us and shows us the ways in which we can put our ideas of liberation into practice. Sometimes, those supporters forget that the club is made by its people and it is not something ethereal, on the contrary, the club has an enormous and deep social dimension active in its role of identity and belonging, reflected in the endless number of social schools, dining rooms, collectives, cultural spaces, etc… the club is a sample of how we want to relate, horizontally and without authority.

But the patrician patriarchs in control of the S.A., with their airs of Arabian sheikhs try to isolate and alienate the fan who sees in the existence of his club an instance to promote other ways of living.., Paradoxically, the increase in the price of the tickets is justified in making a greater investment in security within CONMEBOL [South American Football Confederation] standards, the same bosses who, knowing about the murder of the fans, allowed the match to start because the show must go on even if it means rolling the ball over the blood of our brothers and sisters.

We expect nothing from the state since its existence means the presence of repressive apparatuses destined to the protection of a system that administers life and death in its favor, conveniently managing daily life for the sake of a peace that only benefits the powerful. It is the moment to reaffirm our persistent decision to fight against all authority and its eternal defenders, without bosses, narcos or yuta, because we are rebels by essence! Let’s go comrades to organize revenge!

Solidarity with Mylan and Martina’s families, surroundings and friends in these moments of pain and rage.

Italy: Operation Scripta Scelera – absolution of the anarchists accused in the trial of Massa for the publication of ‘Bezmotivny’. An 8 month sentence for offense to the honour or prestige of the president of the republic

Posted on 2025/04/25 by darknights

OPERATION SCRIPTA SCELERA: ABSOLUTION OF THE ANARCHISTS ACCUSED IN THE TRIAL OF MASSA FOR THE PUBLICATION OF ‘BEZMOTIVNY’. AN 8 MONTH SENTENCE FOR OFFENSE TO THE HONOUR OR PRESTIGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC (ITALY)

On April 8th, 2025, the sentence was pronounced in the ongoing trial in Massa against four anarchist comrades indicted for the publication of the internationalist anarchist fortnightly ‘Bezmotivny’ (repressive operation on August 8th, 2023). The defendants – who were involved in the operation together with six other comrades for whom the proceedings remained at the investigation stage – were charged with incitement to commit crimes and apologia of crimes and offences of terrorism (art. 414 of penal code, paragraphs 1, 3 and 4) with the aggravating circumstance of the purpose of terrorism (art. 270 bis 1, penal code), for the publication of the about sixty issues of ‘Bezmotivny’, and of offence to the honour or prestige of the president of the republic (art. 278, penal code), concerning a specific article (‘Soffiare sul fuoco’, published in ‘Bezmotivny’, year I, issue 17, October 25th, 2021).

All the defendants were acquitted of the charge of multiple aggravated incitement to commit crimes ‘because the fact does not exist’, whereas Luigi was sentenced to eight months, without the application of recidivism, for offending the honour or prestige of the president of the republic (the other three defendants were also acquitted of this charge ‘for not having committed the fact’). The request for compensation by the State attorney’s office was also denied.

At the end of the indictment held at the previous hearing on April 1st, public prosecutor Manotti of the DDAA (‘Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism District Directorate’) of Genoa had requested 7 years’ imprisonment for Gino, 6 years for Luigi (with the revocation of the suspended sentence for a previous conviction imposed on him by the court of Ravenna) and 5 years and 6 months each for Gaia and Paolo, while the State attorney for the presidency of the council of ministers had requested compensation of half a million euro.

France: About the coordinated attack on the prisons over the last two nights

Posted on 2025/04/25 by darknights
Armored guardhouse at the entrance to Toulon-La Farlède prison, Monday night, April 15, 2025.

The nights of Sunday to Monday, April 14 and Monday to Tuesday, April 15, were marked by attacks on several penitentiary structures and their minions, in a dozen towns in the south of France and on the outskirts of Paris. Prison staff cars parked in parking lots (Réau, Valence, Villepinte, Aix-Luynes, Nîmes), alongside the national prison school (Agen) or in front of their staff quarters (Marseille, Nanterre) went up in smoke. In addition, the entrance to a prison was machine-gunned (Toulon-La Farlède), and the gate to an ERIS base was set on fire (Aix-Luynes).

This “coordinated attack” over two consecutive nights led the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) to take charge of the investigation, which was then entrusted to the Anti-Terrorist Sub-Directorate of the Judicial Police, local services and the Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI). The investigation includes “three charges, including terrorist criminal association”, explained the Minister of Justice today, because “the very nature of the action” reflects a “concerted operation aimed at seriously disturbing public order through intimidation”. As for the prison guards, they are naturally disgusted, as Damien Tripenne, national secretary of the CGT penitentiary union, declared on a major radio station: “I have comrades, colleagues, who are bruised because it’s their vehicles that have been targeted, it’s their homes that have been targeted… fear is going to have to change sides” (RTL, 15/4).

In addition, the Ministry of the Interior’s spokespersons pointed out that in several places the tag “DDPF” (interpreted by the journalists as the acronym for “rights [or rather defense] of French prisoners”, named after a Telegram channel) was found, as well as “anarchist slogans”. This led them to put forward both “ultra-left groups” and “drug trafficking” in their chatter. A well-known “source close to the case” told a state news agency that “according to the initial elements of the investigation, the anarchist trail seems to be gaining ground in the vast majority of cases” (AFP, 15/4, 15h50).
Whatever the case, their hypothesis is that these attacks are linked to the struggle of some and others against the construction of vast high-security wards, i.e. veritable tombs where hundreds of prisoners will be buried alive from this summer onwards… and more generally against the toughening of prison conditions (reduced walks and activities, beatings and humiliations by guards…) encouraged by Darmanin’s arrival at the Ministry of Justice.

Here, then, is a first glimpse of this series of nocturnal attacks on the prison administration and the property of its minor personnel:

Agen (Lot-et-Garonne), Sunday April 13, 11:30 pm: fire in eight cars belonging to ENAP student-guards.
  • Agen (Lot-et-Garonne). At around 11:30 pm on Sunday April 13, unknown assailants drove up to the premises of the “École nationale d’administration pénitentiaire” (Enap) and set fire to the cars of prison guards in training. Six of them were completely destroyed by the flames, two others were damaged, and 1,000 student-guards were evacuated in the middle of the night to allow the fire department to intervene. A “DDPF” tag was found on the floor.
  • Réau (Seine-et-Marne). On the same night, Sunday to Monday, April 14, a female guard’s vehicle was set on fire in the prison parking lot, and traces of hydrocarbons were found on three other guard vehicles, which had not caught fire.

Greece: Message of Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis for the trial of comrade Daniela Klette (25/3/2025)

Posted on 2025/04/19 - 2025/04/19 by darknights

The whole game of the German state on the comrades Daniela Klette, Ernst Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg is an operation of psychological warfare, what they call in their terminology psy ops. In addition to the always fruitless attempt of the counter-insurgency to isolate revolutionary struggle, in this hunt it wants to torture the living history, to bury it under the concrete, in order to spread the idea that all resistance is eventually exterminated, to instill terror in the new revolutionary generations. The act of evading from the counter-insurgency’s dragnet is an important resistance: It removes from the state the opportunity to hold the ritual of the “final act”. For this reason, its vengeance against defiant history, now manifested on the body and person of comrade Daniela, is rampant.

The fugitives prove that the passage to free life cannot be blocked. Despite the capitulation of the revolutionary organization, the three comrades have lived for decades in the struggle for the self-organization of proletarian life against the chains of class discipline and bourgeois civilization that kills for money. Now it is in the hands of all of us to pass on the history of the comrades to the current resistances. The hearts that refuse to live enslaved do not leave the final act to any master. And because every “final” word of the state, political, judicial, economic, scientific, determines the crushing of the common body, we will do everything to end Daniela Klette’s captivity.

The most important political legacy of the German revolutionary movement is the strategic and organic internationalism. Burkhard to this day is not hiding, he is singing for the bloodied body of Palestine, of Kurdistan, of the poly-ethnic proletariat and the Earth. The familiar old Europe of colonial war, nationalism and imperialism wants to put Daniela on trial. Let the vampires understand that our people are not for their teeth.

Athens, Greece: Beneath the concrete, something is burning. Statement regarding the occupation of a building and creation of Rasprava Squat

Posted on 2025/04/19 - 2025/04/20 by darknights

Following the end of the event “Revolutionary memory and perspective of the struggle” in Mesologgiou street, a crowd of comrades descended to Kolettis and Themistokleous streets to defend the liberation of the building.
The following is the self-introductory communique of the occupation:

The silence of the metropolis weighs like a stone on our shoulders. The streets are filled with worn-out stares, bodies crawling out of habit, out of fear, out of submission. The world moves along predetermined paths, without a second thought, tempering its dreams. Everything is programmed to work exactly as they want: work, consumption, obedience. Yet, always, beneath the surface, something is boiling.
History is not written by the obedient. A few choose to bear the burden of disobedience. To crack the concrete of normality. To confront the invisible hand of power that chokes every aspect of our lives. Refusing to submit is not a mere stance. It is a call to question, to overturn, to take back everything that belongs to us.
We are comrades, anarchists who derive from different political and ideological backgrounds, but we have found ourselves in the very same fires of struggle. It is there, where our common struggles and collective experiences united us, that we recognized the vital need for the creation of a space for meeting, political maturation1, exchange of views and organizational empowerment.
At a time when isolation is imposed and communities of struggle are being dismantled by repression, the formation of such spaces is not only necessary – it is crucial.
The repressive blows of recent years have not come by accident. The authorities are attempting to eliminate any focus of resistance, to crush any form of self-organisation and to extinguish the flame of contestation.
Great achievements have been lost, the movement has been put on the defensive, the recession is now on the horizon. But we know that history is written by those who do not fall back, by those who are not afraid to confront reality.
To remain on the defensive is to accept defeat. And that is not going to happen.
The time is now to turn words into action, to move from defense to attack.
So let’s make it clear that the enemy will not get rid of us so easily.
We must define our own field of struggle, reclaim our space and time.
To liberate territories from domination, to create a vibrant centre of resistance, a radical cell for mobilisation2 both in theory and action.
We perceive the occupation as an integral part of the movement and the movement as an organic element of the occupation.
The existence of territories of struggle is not just a practical question, but a deeply political one.
Squats are not just places to hang out, they are not just places of hospitality.
They are strongholds of resistance, laboratories of radical practices, cracks in the normality they try to impose on us.
And this is a non-negotiable reality.
Every neighbourhood, every street, every square is not a neutral ground. It is a vibrant map of oppositions, conflicts and claims. Cities are built on the basis of discipline, policing and the sterilization of public space. Squares are filled with surveillance cameras, walls are painted grey, buildings become inaccessible bastions for those who cannot afford to pay the price of existence in a world where everything has a tag price.
Dominance is implementing a strategic plan of universal control of the metropolises, crushing any source of resistance.
Armed with black propaganda and ideological warfare, it attempts to shape consciousness, while the deliberate degradation of neighbourhoods through the spread of organised crime and the violent expulsion of the local population is paving the way for its complete absorption by capital.

Italy: Anarchist Prisoner Ghespe Hospitalized

Posted on 2025/04/19 - 2025/04/19 by darknights

On the night of 14 to 15 February, an arrest put an end, after about two years, to the fugitive status of Salvatore “Ghespe” Vespertino. The beatings and threats he suffered in detention led him to make an extreme gesture: in order to leave the section of the Soto del Real prison in Madrid, he cut the veins on his arms and was transferred to the psychiatric hospital where he was again subjected to ill-treatment. The rule is that anyone who endangers his or her own life is subject to hospitalization and medication under duress. Ghespe specifies that his act was not carried out with a suicidal intention.

After his release from hospital, he was extradited to Italy on March 4 and locked up in Rebibbia prison in Rome. On 20 March, he was transferred to Spoleto prison and placed provisionally in the infirmary section. Following a dispute with a guard, he was subjected to another hospitalization under constraint in psychiatry. Ghespe is in a cell alone and is waiting for permission to be able to visit with his partner. His comrades invite all those in solidarity to send him letters and books (in Italian and Castilian): Salvatore Vespertino / Casa di Reclusione Spoleto / Località Maiano, 10 / 06049 – Spoleto (PG) / Italy.

New York, U$A: NYPD Vehicles Attacked on 4/15 in Revenge Action

Posted on 2025/04/19 - 2025/04/19 by darknights

On Tuesday night we punctured the tires on 8 NYPD cars and sprayed “PIG” all over them at the 88th precinct right under their stupid noses. When the pigs are too complacent then collectively we are doing something wrong.

The 88th precinct is known for its tyrannical rule over both local community and new migrant neighbors. It famously collaborated with ICE during the 2020 George Floyd uprising by using ICE to guard their precinct building besieged by massive protests.

Five years later and where are we now? Every day another human being murdered in custody, through neglect or savage beatings. Robert Brooks and Messiah Nantwi. Five people have died at Rikers just this year. Two died in nyc holding cells just in the past month before even being arraigned.

Every day another neighbor disappeared in to some far off prison, never to be seen again (look up CECOT). Every day another student kidnapped by ICE. Every day another community invaded by fascists demanding papers and hunting Black and Brown people for sport.

Every day another family incinerated by USA-made bombs in Palestine and Yemen.

When will it stop? We must come to a point where we realize that NOTHING WILL STOP unless we MAKE IT STOP. No amount of appealing to politicians, to cops, to institutions like Columbia, will help us. Let go of that, and we free ourselves.

The Empire must fall. Strike where you are, at whatever institution you can that upholds this whole stinking pile of dogshit. Every strike against the NYPD is a strike for communities here and all over the world. May the strength of revolutionaries who have lived and died for liberation be with you.

Athens, Greece : Update on developments regarding the health of comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z. (text update 3.4.25)

Posted on 2025/04/10 - 2025/04/10 by darknights

DEPRIVING PRISONERS OF MEDICAL CARE IS TORTURE

Hands off anarchist comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z.

On 31/10/24, following an explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipi, the anarchist armed fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation, while the anarchist comrade Marianna M., who was also in the apartment, was severely injured, hospitalised and guarded in the ICU of the “Evangelismos” General Hospital. The following days, comrades Dimitra Z., Dimitris and Nikos R., as well as A.K., were remanded in custody.

From the very beginning, state violence was applied to comrade Marianna. With her transfer to Korydallos women’s prison just one day after the second operation she underwent, her hospitalisation was violently interrupted while she still had open wounds on her face, she could not walk or fully care for herself, was dizzy and in pain. The “Evangelismos” General Hospital discharged her as a patient in this condition, knowing full well the miserable environment of the prison to which she would be transferred, where there is not even any kind of hospital and therefore no possibility of providing her with extremely necessary medical care before she fully recovers.

Her torture in Korydallos prison continues to this day. Her serious health condition, as well as the risk of long-term complications, are the result of the deprivation of necessary medical post-operative care. From the very beginning they deprived her of the provision of pharmaceuticals and forced her to stay in cells full of cockroaches, in extremely poor sanitary conditions. While to this day – four months later – necessary and urgent diagnostic tests have not been initiated. To her request to be assessed by a doctor and immediately initiate a brain CT scan requested by an outside doctor who visited her a long time ago, the response of the prison neurologist was “if you don’t fall down with an epileptic seizure, we won’t take you to hospital.” A response that accurately reflects the condition of vindictiveness, punishment, and torture that the rulers impose on anyone who finds themselves captured in the cells of democracy.

To the already heavy situation of confinement was added the appearance of intense rashes and itching in comrade Dimitra. A short time later, the comrade Marianna also showed similar symptoms and only then was the diagnosis of scabies made, while they have been torturing Dimitra for two months with their icy indifference, attributing the symptoms to psychological reasons and administering sedatives to her without having ruled out pathological causes.

$hile: Communique by Mapuche Political Prisoners in Temuco Prison on Raids, Beatings and Transfers

Posted on 2025/04/07 - 2025/04/07 by darknights

In the face of raids, brutal beatings and unjustified transfers, Mapuche Political Prisoners in the Temuco prison charge that these events are part of a broader strategy that seeks to dismantle the existing community modules in Chilean prisons.


“PUBLIC STATEMENT BY MAPUCHE POLITICAL PRISONERS, CCP TEMUCO COMMUNITY MODULE
The Mapuche political prisoners held in the Temuco prison salute our traditional authorities, Pu Lonko, Pu Werken and Pu Machi, as well as the communities in resistance, and declare the following:
On Monday, March 31, at approximately 10:30 a.m., we were violently raided in the first instance by officials of this penal facility, who were later reinforced by personnel of the U.S.E.P.
As a result of this act, innumerable damages were caused, such as the destruction of furniture, the theft of sporting goods, the arbitrary and excessive use of tear gas, and various physical and verbal aggressions (verbatim words of Lieutenant Martínez and Sergeant Ramírez: “Indios Culiaos, Indios Perkines”).
The most affected peñi was Rodrigo Cáseres Salamanca, who underwent surgery on his right arm less than six months ago and is still in the process of rehabilitation. However, this was not an impediment for the Gendarmerie officials, who continued with the beating without any consideration.
Despite their state of health, the Peñi Rodrigo Cáseres Salamanca, Patricio Queipul and Anthu Llanca were transferred to three different prisons: Angol, Valdivia and Concepción. Where they were sent to maximum security modules, without the right to TV or radio, with a regime of 22 hours of solitary confinement, and 2 hours of courtyard.
It should be noted that the latter two were recently acquitted of a set-up orchestrated by the Gendarmerie of the Angol prison.
We see with this as a first conclusion that the orchestrators of the raid were: the recently transferred Lieutenant Hernández from the concessioned prison of Concepción, who on Monday, March 31, occupied the position of deputy warden, the operational chief of the OSI Mijail Morales, the non-commissioned officer Martínez and Sergeant Ramírez, directed and protected by Néstor Flores, regional director of the gendarmerie.
It is evident that what happened is part of a provocative maneuver directed against the Mapuche political prisoners, and we know that this is only one piece of a broader strategy that seeks to dismantle the existing modules of community members in the Chilean prisons located in our Wallmapu.
This intention is clearly demonstrated by the modifications in the internal regime that will be implemented arbitrarily, without prior notice and under the direction of Lieutenant Hernández. Added to this is the daily harassment to which we are subjected, which is manifested through sanctions that are not officially recorded, which rather respond to racist attributions on the part of Gendarmerie officials.
This strategy is also supported by the entire political class, which acts at the service of business interests, the gendarmerie is nothing more than a puppet institution of political interests and the business community.
We demand that our status as Mapuche political prisoners be respected, as well as our culture, social practices and worldview. Ratified by ILO Convention 169.
From the political prisoners module of the Temuco prison, we call for solidarity with the peñi transferred to the prisons of Angol, Valdivia and Concepción.
In addition, we urge to be alert to the repressive and offensive maneuvers directed against the Mapuche political prisoners modules and the eventual mobilizations that may arise.
Immediate transfers of Rodrigo Caseres Salamanca, Patricio Queipul Millanao and Anthu Llanca Quidel to the CCP Temuko community module.
Freedom for All Mapuche Political Prisoners.
For unity in the Weichan
Presos Políticos Mapuche CCP Temuko.»
