Facing the Preparation of the Trial Against Mónica and Francisco
On March 14, 2023 a series of hearings will begin in the so-called preparation for the oral trial against anarchist comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar. This phase, which we expect to last a month, will decide which evidence will be brought to trial and which will not.
Both are accused of the explosive attack against the Tánica Building in the midst of the revolt (2020), while Francisco is accused of sending explosive packages to former Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpetter and the 54th police station (2019). The prosecution requests 30 years in prison for Monica and 129 for Francisco.
The comrades will be taken from San Miguel prison and Rancagua prison to the justice center for the first hearing, where they will face this judicial process virtually.
In this next step of the judicial process, it is still more necessary than ever to leave aside victimist narratives in order to open debates on the vindication and legitimacy of political violence on all levels, not only from the spectators’ box but in the form of concrete support and solidarity to those who face prosecution for such actions.
There’s no space for indifference: Solidarity and complicity with those who attack the powerful and repressors!
Freedom for Monica and Francisco!
Freedom for anarchist and subversive prisoners!
Translated by Act for freedom now!
