Talca – Dark Nights

Chile: Comrades Luis and Ignacio Avaca are released from prison!

Posted on 2022/01/30 - 2022/01/30 by darknights

In November 2020, an explosive package explodes in the Talca police station, slightly injuring a policeman. The action is claimed by “Entes sin Rostro, nada ni nadie que ustedes conozcan” (Faceless Entities, nothing and no one you know).

In May 2021, in a large operation, the police managed to capture Luis and Ignacio Avaca, after the investigation carried out by OS-9 personnel and the South Prosecutor’s Office. The comrades – twin brothers – were taken to the Talca prison and then transferred to Rancagua while the investigative process was underway.

In January 2022, both were able to reach an abbreviated procedure under the anti-terrorist law, that is, to assume responsibility in exchange for a sentence agreed with the prosecution.

This is how the comrades assume the action (We are responsible. About our participation in the fact that we are accused and take political responsibility) and get to be sentenced to 3 years, a sentence that after months of imprisonment, they will continue to serve in the street.

No repentance!
Good road to comrades Ignacio and Luis, in the street!
Solidarity with those who attack the police and arm themselves in their denials!

$hile: Facing a new September 11. Words from comrades Luis and Ignacio from the Rancagua Prison

Posted on 2021/09/20 - 2021/09/20 by darknights

Luis and Ignacio Avaca Mansilla, are comrades arrested in May 2021 accused of sending a parcel bomb to the police station in Talca, an action claimed by “faceless entities, nothing and nobody that you know”.

Facing a new commemoration of September 11:

Let the best commemoration be actions!!!

(I): Memory and action.

This date is loaded with a historical meaning that many share, and, even if it is mainly the democratic left that seems to feel more appealed by this event, the anti-authoritarians and anti-capitalists who dissociate ourselves from that position have been able to commemorate it as well.

We ourselves remember it by ” mobilizing ourselves ” on the occasion. And it is undeniable that, for the current development of the confrontation, we have to take into account, critically, the previous experiences of struggle.

September 11 evokes this. Apart from what exactly happened on that day, it reminds us of the difficult times that were inaugurated, of the diverse expressions and experiences of resistance to the dictatorship, of those who came before us: guerrillas, prisoners, the fallen, the tortured ….. And of the irreducible struggle that continued during the democracy, of which we are participants together with all the prisoners at war.

Against the complicit oblivion and indifference with this social order, we exercise our memory, an offensive memory that does not drown in labels, but gathers all the historical tradition of conflict exercised in this territory, in dictatorship or in democracy.

We do not forget, much less forgive, and that is what is manifested in each attack against authority, its accomplices and its executioners. Continue reading “$hile: Facing a new September 11. Words from comrades Luis and Ignacio from the Rancagua Prison” →

Chile: Words of comrades Ignacio and Luis, accused of sending an explosive package to the police station in Talca

09/06/2021

It is difficult to start writing when my heart and mind are still in turmoil. The only thing I long for is a fraternal embrace, the sunlight and its warmth on my skin, and the only thing I have here is cement, cold, humidity and stench.

Perhaps it will be easier for me to leave by thanking: First of all my blood family who, far from all essentialism, have made me and my brother feel loved. Thank you for your sincere support. In 2nd place, to all the comrades and related who are “moving” outside, in some gesture of solidarity. In these moments everything helps and, as well as my family, thank you for your honest support.

Now, for those who wonder about it, I say: YES. Our prison is political. As political as any prisoners’ prison in this system. I would delve into more “theoretical” issues, but this is not the time.

I will only say that, if this prison were not political, then they would not have taken blood samples from us, against our will, under threat of “they would get them anyway”. If this presidium were not political, then fiskalia (slang for the GOPE, Special Police, like the FBI) would not worry about having copies of what we read and write… and they do. Patent of this is the raid of our computers and telephone, in which anything they find will serve them to weave their intrigues. If this prison were not political, then the fiskals of the south metropolitan would not have entered our house, with a huge media show and cameras, at the moment of our arrest. And finally, if this prison were not political, we would not have been part of Galli’s statements a few days ago.

Today more than ever we say: if we are not guilty, much less are we innocent.

The work of determining guilt, plunging the prisoners and their families into misery, belongs to the fiskalía. That is what they call “justice” in democracy. They in their homes, opulent, comfortable and with a “clean” conscience. We in the cages, without water, without light, far from all those who love us in any way.

Thanks to all those who move, a warm greeting to all the political prisoners of this world.

Freedom to all prisoners!

-Ignacio and Luis
