The deadlocks of capitalist domination, the authoritarian violence and the strategy of war for the neutralization of the internal enemy are now, more than ever, obvious characteristics in all states in which organized social resistance are developing. On August 14th 2010, a marvelous spectacle of repression took place in the cities of Santiago and Valparaiso in Chile that resulted in the persecution of 14 people, 8 of whom are held in custody facing charges for all armed, explosive, incendiary attacks that took place during the last three years against state and capitalist targets inside the country. The only sufficient evidence to put them in prison is their political identity, which is synthesized by their actions of struggles and their social circles.
Andrea Urzua, Camilo Perez, Carlos Rivera, Felipe Guajarado, Francisco Solar, Monica Caballero, Rodolfo Retamales, who since then are still in prison, have waged a very important struggle since February 21st 2011, by starting a hunger strike demanding their release as well as the end of the anti-terrorist law. After the beginning of the hunger strike, two other comrades were sent back to prison from house arrest. Vinicio Aguillera and Omar Hermosilla joined the hunger strike two days after their return to prison. Through this stand all of them make it clear that they are not willing to sit submissively in the cages of democracy. They actively reject the State plan for their social isolation by making it clear, through their second demand, the deeply political dimension of their case, which has significant importance for all social struggles. The arsenal of laws, that all modern totalitarian regimes have, is a tool for anybody that is a conscious enemy of domination. Even if the main recipients of this lawfully disguised violence are the anarchists, the force of the terror law is not going to be exhausted just with this case. The result of this struggle with be a historical legacy for the movement that is not going to remain trapped inside the border of any country. Let the same happen again with the solidarity that will be expressed towards these comrades from every corner of the planet.
We wish strength to the comrades, until freedom. We stand next to them in their difficult struggle against the cruelty the State’s dungeons, the class and discriminatory judiciary, the sewer of the media, and everyone else who would block their way to liberation.
Assembly for the promotion of solidarity, and other comrades,
