Words of Anarchist Prisoner Lucas Hernandez From Prison/factory Santiago 1 January 7, 2023
(Received at informativoanarquista@riseup.net)
In the early morning of December 22, 2022 after a series of raids by the south metropolitan high complexity Prosecutor’s Office, as part of an investigation for an explosive attack at the National Directorate of the Chilean Gendarmerie…
We were arrested 2 comrades, my brother/comrade and I.
On that day, the 22nd, the official press published our faces like 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 imprisonment do not take anarchist solidarity into account, solidarity that passes through walls and confinement, bullets and shackles. Solidarity that we could feel from the first moment we arrived at the module where I currently find myself. 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: family, comrades, friends, anonymous ones and those who share the ideas that overflow my individual heart and mind. A hug for all of them.
To my comrades from San Miguel prison, to the comrades from La Gonzalina prison: Juan Aliste, Francisco Solar, Marcelo Villaroel, Juan Flores, and Joaquín Garcia who have been caring and attentive to my brother from the first moment. They lent him a hand of solidarity, thus mocking the isolation and the distance between those cold walls.
A hug for all the Rebels, Anarchists, Nihilists, Subversives and conspirators. Individuals or collectives that sharpen the conflict inside and outside the prisons of the world.
From the dungeons I can only say: I will continue standing, firm and strong. Neither imprisonment nor any punishment will bend me. My ideas remain clear as an anarchist individual, I remain in conflict with the society that perpetuates and sustains misery.
Prison is a place where no one wants to go, but this will be part of my personal and political growth process. We have the example of struggle, resistance and coherence of all our comrades, who throughout history have had to endure long sentences, coherence that is more important for me than any punishment they try to give me.
From this concrete tomb I send an embrace full of love and pride to all those who face prison on a daily basis: To the comrades of Stgo 1, San Miguel prison, La Gonzalina and all those who are scattered around the world.
Especially to my brother who is imprisoned in Rancagua, I send you strength and love, here I will continue with my head held high.
Nothing is over, everything continues.
My captivity will not be in vain. LONG LIVE ANARCHY!
