Pablo Morales Released from Preventative Detention

One of the comrades arrested under the “Caso Bombas” and made out to be the leader of the supposed illicit association, was released from preventative detention and placed under house arrest.

Pablo Morales Fuhrimann was released after the unanimous decision of the Sixth Division Court of Appeals in Santiago, after considering the extensive preventative measures and the closure of the investigation on March 24th.

Morales had been in prison as a preventative measure since the 14th of August 2010 in the High Security prison in Santiago after being charged with forming and leading an Illicit Terrorist Association for the Placement of Explosive Devices.

Montreal: Banners hung in solidarity with anarchists on hunger strike in Chile

Three banners were hung in Montreal in solidarity with the 14 anarchists in Chile on hunger strike since February 21st.

“Solidarity With Anarchist Prisoners On Hungerstrike In Chile Since Feb 21st, While Misery Exists We Choose Rebellion”, “Solidarité Avec Des Anarchistes Incarcéres Au Chili, Pour La Destruction De Toutes Les Prisons (A) Faisons La Guerre Au Capital”, “Liberté Pour Les 14 Anarchistes En Grève De La Faim Au Chili Depuis Le 21 Février, Feu Aux Prisons”.

In addition, hundreds of fliers were scattered at each banner drop with info about their situation. These are images of the banners and the text from the fliers.

Solidarity from Montreal.

Text from the flier:

Act for freedom Now!

Solidarity with imprisoned anarchists in chile
Framed for the “Bombings Case”
On Hungerstrike

This April 14th to the 21st was chosen as a week of agitation and propaganda for the immediate freedom of the 14 Chilean anarchists arrested on August 14th 2010. The arrests were a culmination of raids under what is being called the “Bombs Case”. The arrestees are accused of placing or being implicit in dozen of bombs set off in the greater Santiago area for the past couple years. They are being charged under the dictatorship era Anti-Terrorist Law. They are charged with “illicit association” as well. Ten of the arrested comrades have been imprisoned since August 14th, culminating now to almost 8 months of jail time, also 9 of the 10 have been on hunger strike since February 21, 2011. The other comrade joined the hunger strike March 23rd. They have lost around 20 pounds each, the hunger strike is indefinite. The prosecutor is asking for sentences of 10 years, 15 years, to life imprisonment. The comrades have kept their heads held high inside prison agitating with their bodies and small acts of refusal, on the outside anarchists have continued the struggle and expressed multitudes of solidarity, internationally anarchists have responsed as well.
As anarchists ourselves who have experienced an influx of repression as a result of our struggles, we act in solidarity with the 14 arrested. Everyday we choose to act against the domination of the state and capital. We hope that anyone who sees a comonality in this refusal can gather the courage to act as well, for when we are few we are weak, but as many we are strong.

These are their demands:
1. Freedom right now.
2. End of the judicial-police montage.
3. End of the Anti-terrorist Law, inherited of the military dictatorship (1973-1990) and improved for the ‘democracy’.
4. End of the time of investigation and realization of a just lawsuit.

Immediate freedom for the 14 compañerxs!
Prisoners to the streets!
THE PASSION FOR FREEDOM KNOWS NO BORDERS!!!

Update from Andrea and Monica from 14A

Monica and Andrea remained hospitalized inside the prison hospital the entire weekend, since last Thursday, but because there were not any doctors in the COF during the weekend anything that would have happened could not be properly cared for. In regards to their health, we know that for a few days they have had dizziness, tachycardia, and prolonged headaches.

The health of all the comrades is cause for concern due to a considerable weight loss, because of this it is important to support them.

The comrades demands are as follows:
-IMMEDIATE FREEDOM
-NO APPLICATION OF THE ANTI-TERRORIST LAW
-CHANGE TO THE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES (AN END TO PREVENTATIVE DETENTION)
-AN END TO THE ANTI-TERRORIST LAW AND ITS SECRET WITNESSES
-AN END TO ARTICLE 7 SECTION 19 OF THE CONSTITUTION (REQUIRING A UNANIMOUS VOTE FOR CONDITIONAL LIBERTY)
– REVINDICATION OF PRISONER’S RIGHTS

Inside the same they have pointed and demanded:

-THE PRESENTATION OF A PROJECT TO MODIFY THE ANTI-TERRORIST LAW 18.340 WHICH DIRECTLY INFLUENCES ITS PROCESS AND INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING POINTS:

-AN END TO SECRET AND COVERT WITNESSES

-MODIFICATION OF ARTICLE 7 SECTION 19 OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL WHICH REFERS TO THE UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE COURT OF APPEALS TO OBTAIN A CHANGE TO PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO CONDITIONAL RELEASE RATHER THAN PREVENTATIVE DETENTION.

-AN END TO TRIPLING THE PENALTIES

May fear not destroy solidarity…
may solidarity destroy prison
Hostages of the state to the street!

Krakow banner drop in Solidarity with the prisoners in Greece and Chile

In response to solidarity demonstrations for the political prisoners on Saturday in Greece and bearing in mind the solidarity week for the Chilean fighters we decided to take some initiatives in Krakow, Poland the place where solidarity movement was born and where it seems this word has been forgotten. This is the first in a series of actions that will take place.

We can be easily distracted by Krakow’s luring and picturesque architecture and vibrant nightlife, or its rich history. But what is the point of learning about this history of struggle and visiting museums if we forget about the struggles of the present? Let us not be discouraged by the spectacle created by and for tourists, police presence everywhere, the surveillance cameras or even the bizarre existence of neo-nazis. Because as with uprisings of the past, this city, this country, harvests the seeds of rebellion in every corner.

With love and rage deep in our hearts we ignore the risks.
Burn the prisons!

Chile: Solidarity action in USACH with the 14A comrades

From Hommodolars Contrainformación (April 22, 2011), re-posted from https://thisisourjob.wordpress.com/

Note: The following communiqués were sent via e-mail, and both refer to the same action—a direct attack on those who constitute the apparatus of the prison system, against the backdrop of the week of agitation and solidarity with the A14 compas. We are publishing both as reflections on the action.

Communiqué 1: USACH Street Solidarity

The three cop buses stationed at different points around the University of Santiago, Chile (USACH) campus neither intimidated nor deterred the longing for solidarity and fire that compelled various individuals to take the streets on Thursday, April 21 as part of the week of agitation and propaganda for the political prisoners framed in the “bombings case.”

In the middle of a silent morning, while capital’s dogs were fattening themselves and sleeping in their opulent buses, people in solidarity took to the streets and set one of those buses on fire, with the surprised pigs only managing to flee, as usual.

What’s the point of this whole apparatus, with its buses and patrols? The streets are surely ours, and that has been demonstrated once again. There is no room for intimidation in our freedom-hungry hearts, and we will use our weapons to clash with anyone who tries to take that freedom away from us.

The confrontation lasted just over an hour, during which at least three of Hinzpeter’s loyal dogs took direct hits from our enraged fire. The demonstration ended with all the comrades free and the cops hidden behind their machines.

Resist, cabros. Solidarity is becoming action, and you are not alone. Subversion, insurrection, and revolt are spreading everywhere.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE for the Prisoners framed in the “Bombings Case”!

Fire to the prisons and their guards!

Communiqué 2

Approximately 50 comrades came from far and wide, appearing by surprise yet again in front of the University of Santiago (USACH), looking for a confrontation with the State’s dogs. The campus has recently been crawling with a rather excessive number of “special forces” (what a contradiction, since the only thing special about them is their strange willingness to defend what doesn’t belong to them, for a pitiful salary).

Since Monday, a water cannon, an armored car, a bus containing a disproportionate number of asshole pigs, and a patrol squad with the same characteristics were stationed in front of the University. Elsewhere, a patrol squad and a bus could be seen near the president’s office at certain times during the past few days. Watchers had also been posted near the USACH metro station. We don’t know what their purpose was, nor do we care. We only question their incredible capacity for delirium and the deployment of disproportionate numbers of oppressors.

Strangely, today’s reality was a bit diminished since there were only three buses surrounding the University, one of which was parked directly in front. That was our target.

We came out by surprise, without being heard. Upon seeing us, the valiant guardians only managed to hide inside their filthy vehicle, which we turned into shit with pure fire. It was one of those scenes that swells your heart and brings tears to your eyes, watching those cowardly faces run for their very lives when confronted with a lightly armed but brave group of people.

The fight lasted approximately 45 minutes, during which the bourgeoisie’s little lapdogs didn’t even dare to advance, instead spraying a considerable amount of their disgusting gas.

Our motive: Unconditional support for the political prisoner comrades on hunger strike for the past 60 days. Many of those who participated in today’s events didn’t share all the ideas of the people in the State’s dungeons, but that didn’t matter to us, because they nevertheless took action. Our goal will always be solidarity among revolutionaries, and we hope the smell of our gasoline reaches the cells of our compas and conveys our appreciation during these difficult times. Patience.

We are aiming for active solidarity on all fronts in the hope of breaking the ideological barriers that divide us and unifying our actions to achieve confrontation with the bourgeoisie. That is our goal.

Freedom for all comrades who are prisoners of the state. Solidarity everywhere. Each small battle is a contributing blow, and every method is valid.

P.S. Afterward, we were approached by a group of imbeciles from the Medical Sciences department, along with some engineering students. They tried to start something with a few compas, who showed no fear. This isn’t the first time that’s happened. The class traitors shouted “This goes against the university” while trying to throw the compas out. They don’t scare us. Just the opposite. Their cheap discourse doesn’t sway us. The university is a bourgeois institution and everyone knows it, but those who manage to get in from other strata make a tremendous effort to find ways of generating subversion wherever we are. And we are everywhere.

Long live the young combatants!
Free the world’s prisoners!
End the “Bombings Case” set-up!
For the spread of solidarity everywhere, using all forms of struggle!

Spain: Banco Santader attacked in solidarity with the “bombs case” prisoners in Chile

from Madrid Indymedia, translated by War on Society:

Thursday night the 21st, while the religious fanatics of Seville celebrated the dawn of Holy Thursday, a group of enraged anarchists decided to assault a branch of Banco Santander to express our rejection of the repressive process that is going on in $hile (the “bombs case”) that has imprisoned our brothers-and-sisters-in-ideas for 8 months.

Taking advantage of the sound of rain and darkness of the night, we stoned several windows, shattering them as well as the automatic teller screens — rendering them unusable — and left our message painted on the facade:

FREEDOM TO THE ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN PRISONERS IN CHILE

THE “BOMBS CASE” IS A FRAME-UP

This time we chose as the object of our destructive desire this bank which directly defends the interests of the state of $hile and spreads its capitalist tentacles through those territories, where it is one of the primary economic powers.

We frame this gesture within the week of agitation and propaganda for the 14A, to send strength and courage during the hunger strike that 10 of them have maintained for 60 days in order to demand their release, the non-application of the Anti-Terrorist Law and immediate trial. They have already achieved the end of the investigative period and cessation of solitary confinement for the comrades, held in high security prison, which were two of the initial demands of the hunger strike.

We valorize the struggle and pressure that the comrades are conducting from within, and the achievements they are gaining with the support and unconditional embrace of those who continue the war on the outside.

We have motive and conviction in excess.

For all our warrior sisters and brothers who have fallen or are imprisoned in all corners of the world.

For the reclamation of our lives from social apathy: Let us seek to live anarchy!

Some anonymous anti-socialites!

Toronto, ON: Five banks vandalized in solidarity with struggles and prisoners

from anarchist news:

5 Banks in North Toronto were vandalized and redecorated on Sunday [April] 17th.

as an act of Anarchist solidarity with the Mapuche struggle for land, autonomy and freedom in Walmapu so called “Southern Chile.”

and as an act of Anarchist Solidarity with the Haudenesseunee Struggle for land, autonomy and freedom in the great lakes bio-region.

Most of all it is in solidarity for those in prison in both “Canada” and “Chile” who have struggled with dignity against our mutually repressive colonial states. For those who still have the will to refuse submission.

The banks targeted
two Bank of Montreals
two TD Canada Trusts
one Scotiabank

Spain: Hostages of the Chilean State: two solidarity actions

from culmine, translated by War on Society

In response to the call for solidarity through propaganda and agitation for the comrades taken hostage by the Chilean State since August 14th, 2010, and 60 days since the initiation of their hunger strike, two solidarity actions were made in Barcelona:

– 2 simultaneous blockades on two important roads in the city, displaying banners alluding to the comrades accused for the “bombs case” in Chile and calling for solidarity with the comrades in struggle incarcerated in different parts of the world, causing a traffic commotion and thus affecting the everyday passivity of common citizenry, alien in the disinformation of the repressive attacks that power unleashes against anti-capitalist dissidents in Chile and the world.

– Unfurling of a huge banner in of the main tourist spots in Barcelona — el parque guell — complementing the action by throwing informational leaflets. The choice of this point was not random; the objective was to burst into one of the most insidious faces of brutal capitalism: tourism, which in Barcelona and in all parts of the world seeks to invisibilize conflicts and social struggles and represents a form of exploitation hidden behind the ostentatious cameras of tourism’s consumers.

Through these actions we have sought to send a signal of support to the political prisoners of Chile, with the firm conviction that solidarity is a weapon that should be used against power anywhere in the world, transcending the imagination created by states, by borders. For these same reasons, by means of these actions, we want also to greet all the fighters of the world who find themselves imprisoned by the state and by capital.

Freedom to the anarchist comrades imprisoned in Greece, Italy, Belarus, in Argentina and in all the territories where the flame of insurrection lives on.

DOWN WITH THE PRISON WALLS !!!!!

ACTIVE SOLIDARITY WITHOUT BORDERS!!!!!

Solidarios Barcelona

Communique from ‘Unknowns for the freedom of the prisoners’ for the attack on BBVA

In those moments in which we decide to locate our lives as a deed of propaganda and move to the attack on this prison society, we discover the complicity of the night as our unconditional lover, caressing every solidarity action of every one of the comrades who takes to assault the misery of everyday life that capitalism offers us everywhere in the world, and it is for this that we return to her to send a message of freedom to the prisoners, because we know that every cinder that flies from the flames of every barricade and burning ATM opens the door of every cell to embrace all of our imprisoned sisters and brothers on the planet, passing through the cracks in the walls to arrive at the dungeons where they remain sequestered.

The night of Thursday April 21st, at the end of the 60th DAY OF THE HUNGER STRIKE of those incarcerated and kidnapped for the “BOMBS CASE” FRAME-UP and without any response on the part of the State-Capital, a group of individuals armed with our hearts overflowing with the longing for freedom, some few pamphlets, hammers, gasoline and our indomitable and insurrectional dreams decided to disturb the social order and the complicit silence of the citizenry in the face of the abhorrent frame-ups of people struggling for freedom, attacking the BBVA branch at the intersection of Rodolfo Phillipi and Alameda in downtown Santiago, destroying its windows and then splashing gasoline to set it on fire, demonstrating to this disgusting society that we are more than commodities tradeable on the market and that the logics of money only reproduce themselves when one naturalizes them oneself. Barricades were erected on the south side of Alameda obstructing traffic and pamphlets were thrown about the situation of our sister/brother prisoners and for their immediate freedom, (we want to make clear that at no time did we attack the public transport as the bourgeois press is misreporting — if we had, then some buses would have been destroyed), later a couple of slogans were shouted in solidarity with the prisoners of the bombs case and the traffic block was maintained for some minutes to facilitate the escape of the insurgents.

This action marking the final day of the “Week of Action and Propaganda for Freedom, from April 14 to 21. End to the imprisonment of the accused in the bombs case frame-up arrested August 14, 2010,” demonstrates that we are not afraid of their new research division called the Department of Public Order and that their supposed advances do nothing more than intensify the solidarity and the action of every rebel, that their policies to terrorize the population and criminalize social protest do not work and will not work, because the seeds of freedom are making fertile their new fruits and the diaspora of the insurgents has been undertaken everywhere as has been demonstrated with the solidarity actions in Italy, England, Greece, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Canada, Venezuela, Spain, throughout $hile and in many other places of the world, shouting that they cannot quiet our indomitable hearts.

It is necessary to make clear that every day is an opportunity to denounce the political-judicial frame-ups and the terrorism of the State, so they are very mistaken if they intend to implement their public control policies strategically on commemorative days, as every second that passes is an opportunity to assault the monotony of everyday life and to sharpen our ideas against the State-Capital.

We extend this message as a solidarity greeting to all the comrades imprisoned in the world from Bologna to Argentina, from Canada to Peru, from Bolivia to Greece, from France to Mexico and in every corner of the earth.

We will not stop until we see our sisters and brothers free and the frame-up has ended in total collapse, neither their repression nor their bars will silence us, we demand:

-IMMEDIATE FREEDOM TO THE ACCUSED FOR THE “BOMBS CASE” FRAME-UP

-NON-IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ANTI-TERRORIST LAW

-END TO THE PREVENTIVE DETENTION

-END TO THE ANTI-TERRORIST LAW AND ITS SECRET WITNESSES

-END TO THE ART. 7 CLAUSE 19 OF THE CONSTITUTION (UNANIMOUS VOTE REQUIRED FOR CONDITIONAL RELEASE)

-REVINDICATION OF PRISONERS’ RIGHTS

FOR THE GERM OF REVOLT TO SPREAD THROUGH ALL THE LAND, FREEDOM TO THE PRISONERS OF THE ABSURD “BOMBS CASE” FRAME-UP NOW!!!!

For fear to not destroy solidarity…

for solidarity to destroy prison

Unknowns for the freedom of the prisoners…
