Chile: Text of anarchist prisoner Lucas Hernandez from prison/company Santiago 1
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: Words of Tomás and Mawhünko before a new commemoration of Matias Catrileo’s death
Time passes but you endure and resist with your example of unwavering struggle sprouting from the earth like a native forest.
Today I write to you from prison with a bit of nostalgia since I cannot be present as I would like to be. I think that nothing is finished and in a personal way for the memories I have with you when I had no worries … I watched in wonder your punky crest while you took me in your arms you were with your jacket full of studs on your neck that I watched innocently; I can firmly say that with you I spent my best moments as a child. I remember to the surface that January 3, 2008 where as a result of the context everything was overturned in my days, with that burning that feels alone sometimes and that you try not to forget … because I would not see you anymore, however only disappears what we do not know how to look / feel and this is not the case because your flame fuels mine to feel the breeze, the rain and the smell of damp earth that like a blanket covers the roots of the great araucarias.
This is how time passes but you live in our memory and even though the road of the insurrectional struggle against capital and the miserable authoritarians who perpetuate misery may lead us to prison or death, it is still beautiful because those of us who throw ourselves with feeling and courage can say that we have been free and dignified, this is how we advance with nothing to fear.
“You accompany me in every step I take as I walk in the forest that they try to devastate and I say try because they will not be able to do it. You live in every outbreak feeding the storm waiting to lurk like a pangui to defend and attack those who want to occupy the land to exterminate.”
Matias Valentin Catrileo Quezada lives in the weichan!”

Chile: Text from anti-speciesist comrades imprisoned for the Susaron case in memory of Sebastian Oversluij
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: Text of comrade Mónica Caballero with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike
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.

Chile: 4 comrades arrested for the incendiary attack on the meat company “Susaron”
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: Words of Mawvnhko. Public statement on the repeated violation of visiting rights and body search protocols
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!

Chile: Renata-“Jalea” gets out of juvenile prison
After spending about 5 months in preventive detention in the SENAME prisons for minors, in September 2022 Renata, “Jalea” managed to return to the streets after being formalized for the burning of 3 buses in Peñalolen during March 2022.
Under this same cause Maryjorie, “Mayo” is still in preventive detention in the San Miguel prison.
Solidarity with the prisoners of the street struggle!

Chile: On the current situation of our comrade Mónica Caballero in prison. Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners
From the moment of her arrest, in June 2020, Monica has been in the public connotation module of the San Miguel Women’s Prison. This module is characterized by the direct control exercised by the gendarmerie over the prisoners, with greater and more complex security measures than in the rest of the prison.
Along with this, Monica’s derisory yard time – 1 hour a day – makes her confinement even more oppressive, as she is confined in closed spaces practically all day long.
However, there is one factor that is making life particularly difficult for our compañera inside the prison: being forced to share spaces with women who have assaulted, raped and/or murdered their children. Monica’s contact with these people is at all times and at all hours, a situation that is becoming unbearable for our compañera. It is important to point out that Monica is not relying on the investigations and accusations of the prosecutor’s office, but it is they themselves who openly assume their aberrant behaviors, normalizing aggressions and rapes of their children.
In this sense, we are clear in pointing out that this represents a strategy of Power to subdue comrades who have turned their lives to wage war against authority, as Monica has evidently done. Power knows that our revolutionary ethic clashes head-on with these despicable behaviors and those who perpetrate them, which is why it deliberately exercises this type of provocations that represent, by all means, an added punishment.
We will not accept to share common spaces with rapists, so we demand immediately the change of module of our comrade Monica Caballero.
Together with this, the change of module would also mean that our colleague would no longer be subject to an exceptional regime of control and surveillance, which would undoubtedly improve her situation inside the prison.
AN END TO THE EXCEPTIONAL MEASURES OF CONTROL AND PUNISHMENT OF MÓNICA CABALLERO!
UNTIL THE LAST BASTION OF PRISON SOCIETY IS DESTROYED!!!

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

Public communiqué of anarchist, subversive anti-authoritarian, nihilist anti-speciesist and anarcho-feminist affinities in the face of the current situation of comrade Alfredo Cospito in the Italian fascist prisons almost 90 days after the beginning of his hunger strike.
As comrades who support the anarchic struggle against prisons, prison society and the system of domination, we express through these words our unwavering support for comrade Alfredo Cospito, kidnapped by the Italian state in the prison of Bancali, Sassari, Sardinia; a center of extermination in which the nefarious regime of 41 bis has been applied to him, with the aim of destroying him as a subject and preventing him from maintaining any kind of contact with all his comrades inside and outside of the prisons.
Alfredo has been on hunger strike for almost 90 days demanding the end of the application of the damned regime, which extorts our comrades through the torture of isolation to induce them to give information or die, only in these two situations 41 bis ceases to be applied.
As like-minded comrades we repudiate the torture applied to Alfredo and other comrades, we know that they fear us because of our unrestricted commitment to end the system of domination, a commitment that does not end with torture, nor with prison, nor with death itself, and for this reason today Alfredo is risking his life firmly and without hesitation.
From the territory occupied by the Chilean colonialist state and from different territories of Abya Yala we tell you that the struggle of our comrade is also ours and that the consequences of a bad end to it will be seen and felt everywhere.
