May multiform and combative solidarity annihilate the walls of the prisons!


As Informativo Anarquista we’d like to be concise about the situations that have taken place since the morning of July 6, on the eve of the commemoration of the death of dear comrade Luisa Toledo.

In sum, the events were as follows:

– Raid of Villa Francia Radio, Luisa Toledo Popular Cafe and various households in the neighborhoods of Estación Central, Macul, Santiago Centro, La Granja, Cerrillos y Maipú.

– In one place, artisanal and industrial pistols and revolvers, a rifle and submachine gun were found, in addition to ammunition.

– In another household, industrial explosives for use in mines was found

– And in another raid a DIY grenade with black powder and a teargas bomb were found.

The same afternoon of July 6 those arrested were processed, except for one person who as of now (07/08) remains in the hospital. One of the comrades remained in pre-trial detention, two with nocturnal house arrest, 9 were declared illegal arrests and one comrade awaits appeal.

Today, July 8. One comrade’s pre-trial detention and house arrest for two other comrades were ratified. The 9 comrades whose arrests were declared illegal continue in limbo until tomorrow July 9. The comrade awaiting appeal remained on house arrest after paying bail, however, the Southern Prosecutor’s Office appealed and tomorrow wednesday July 9, the Appeals Court will decide. IN addition, the comrade who was hospitalized was processed and remained in pre-trial detention.

These raided are carried out through an investigation for the placement of an explosive artifact in December 2023 in a Nissan automobile and the placement of a “car bomb” on a police car during the confrontations of March 29 of this year, on the Day of the Youth Combatant.

Solidarity with those arrested and imprisoned!
