$hile: “Words from the confinement, necessary letters” by Marcelo Villarroel

“Words from the confinement, necessary letters” by Marcelo Villarroel

On December 16, 2009 I was expelled from Argentina after 21 months of confinement in different units of the province of Neuquén to be at the disposal of the Chilean state and it has been 14 years since then.

In 2014 I was sentenced to 14 years for two bank robberies. Strictly speaking, I am serving this sentence in its entirety, from beginning to end, without any benefit and it ends today December 16, 2023 and still the state keeps me behind bars.

According to the gendarmes, I must serve 12 more years of imprisonment to be able to apply for some intrapenitentiary benefit only in 2036. According to their retroactive modifications of the illegal Chilean law, in 2056 I will definitively expire my sentences, all of them from events that occurred more than 30 years ago.

Public Communique of Mapuche Political Prisoners from Angol Prison

August 10, 2023

By: Mapuche Political Prisoners of Angol

The mapuche political prisoners of the Angol Prison call on their mapuche traditional authorities who have backed them in this long and painful hunger strike to come to Angol Prison, now that we have seen that there is no political will to resolve our demands on the part of the government and the prison.

Those who, entrenched in biased racism, have delayed a solution, leading us to the extreme of our conditions of bodily health. For this reason, faced with this humiliating attitude of those who aim to push us, seeking to bully our families, submit our children to degrading treatment, all with the ultimate intention of making us abandon our political and human rights.

We the Mapuche political prisoners, owe ourselves to the joint and collective ways that indicate our traditional Mapuche ordering. This is why we make this call, to our Mapuche authorities, to anounce before our communities and relatives, the difficult decision to carry out a THIRST STRIKE in the coming hours, to push the government to resolve our demands.

Hualqui: to make the power of this world explode

Sunday September 4, 2022, around 6 am, the same day when the Chilean population had to vote by referendum on the project of the new Constitution (the vote was obligatory), unknown persons placed four explosive charges on a high-tension pylon located in Hualqui (region of Bío Bío).

The pylon of the Hualqui-Lagunillas high-voltage line of the Transelec company collapsed to the ground, while two others were seriously damaged in its fall. According to the Chilean investigators, three charges did their job, while a fourth one failed, and the explosive used would be high density dynamite of mining variety.

Solidarity Means Attack

Cochabamba, Bolivia: Claim of arson attack against patrol car of the Fuerza Especial de Lucha Contra la Violencia (Special Force to Fight against Violence)

In the early morning of September 12, at 2:40 a.m., we placed an incendiary device composed of four half-liter plastic bottles with gasoline, tied with adhesive tape, which were set on fire by means of a wick that we assembled with 5 matches and 3 incenses tied with rubber bands.

We placed this rudimentary device behind one of the front wheels to ensure that the main damage was in the engine area.

Although all of their cars are incendiary, the choice of a Special Anti-Violence Force van is not random. There is no exception, every police force is the enemy and we don’t buy their song and dance about fighting against gender violence. The patriarchy will fall when the last stone of this prison society falls. We abhor their gendered capitalism. We abhor its State spawn forced on unfathomable differences to satisfy the needs of post-colonial oligarchies. We do not demand anything from the institutions, we do not want any police in our neighborhoods and communities with the story of women’s security. You, murderous cops, are the phallus (now scorched) of patriarchy!

Solidarity Means Attack

Chile: Arson attack on forestry truck on Itata Route, Penco

“People want to make their own decisions on small matters, but making decisions on difficult and fundamental problems requires facing psychological conflicts, and most people hate them.”
“Every human being who is raised on the banks of a river, the highest concept he or she has is freedom.”
During the early morning of December 20, an arson attack was carried out against a forestry truck in Ruta Itata, Penco, Bio Bio region. Due to technical complications it was not possible to issue this communiqué on the day of the action, however, the motivations of our actions remain more valid than ever, that is why we understand that the delay of this communiqué does not mean a problem, much less a limitation to communicate the reasons that fuel our attacks.
