Friday, December 21st
LET US ALL GO TO VALDIVIA’S COURT!
Let’s take to the streets in Argentina and Chile and the entire worldagainst the infamous sentence to Jones Huala
No fighter can be alone fighting the State and its justice,
never again!
It was noon. The first people started to arrive at the doors of the inquisitor courthouse, which sought to declare Facundo Jones Huala guilty of the “felony” of fighting for land against the transnational companies and landowners. He has spent nearly a year and a half in prison, since he fell into the hands of the Videlaist justice in Argentina and he was extradited to Chile. The construction of this kangaroo court that wants to sentence him to 15 years in prison lasted a year and a half, and it was organized jointly by the governments of Macri and first Bachelet’s (at that time) and today its continuity, Piñera’s.
The court session started at 3pm. One could feel an anxiety mood in the air, and at the same time, the resistance and support, as there were 50 protestors outside the Pinochetist court showing their support for Facundo. The war cries that sounded outside the court were “Free, free the Mapuche for fighting!”, “Marichiweu!”.
There were banners covering the entrance to the courthouse of oral trial in penal trials of Valdivia. The banners were with the faces of Mapuche fallen by the hand of the Pinochetist regime, such as Matias Catrileo and Camilo Catrillanca, and others fallen by the Argentinean regime, such as Santiago Maldonado and Rafael Nahuel.
This took place in a true context of generalized punishment to the exploited masses, with the Pinochetist regime reinforcing itself. A little more than two months ago, the leader of the artisanal fishermen, Alejando Castro, was murdered. A month ago, the young fighter Kevin Garrido fell. Exactly one month ago, the young Mapuche Camilo Catrillanca fell by the hand of the Jungle Command. Less than a week ago, the body of another union leader, Alex Muñoz Garcia, was found without life. This crime was guised as a “suicide”, and so it was the crime of comrade Quineros.
They are martyrs of the exploited at both sides of the mountain chain, like Santiago Maldonado and Rafael Nahuel.
With this sentence, the governments of Chile and Argetnina, lackeys of Trump, the transnational companies and the G20, seek to chastise every worker or popular fighter that fights for his/her legitimate rights.
Eventually, the final ruling of the executioners was known. Facundo Jones Huala was declared guilty and the final sentence will be given on Friday 21st. The impotence and outrage filled the atmosphere of those who were at the place. The relatives and friends that came out from the trial, outraged and resisting, called not to lower their arms and keep on fighting for the Mapuche imprisoned comrades. Fernando, Facundo’s brother, read a communicate from the convicted Lonko, where he stated clear that he hadn’t given up and that the struggle continues.
The gendarmerie harassed relatives and friends inside the courthouse, because they were claiming against the infamous ruling of the DA in charged of the case. There were comrades that had left the place by bus, and they were arrested a few blocks away from there by the murderous police and taken to the police station in the neighbouring sector.
Workers and popular trials to judge and punish the killers of Camilo Catrillanca, Kevin Garrido, Alejandro Castro, Nelson Quichillao, Alex Muñoz, Juan Pablo Jiménez and all our martyrs!
No trust in the Pinochetist justice!
Judge and punish the murderers of Santiago Maldonado and Rafael Nahuel, of Argentina!
Self-defense committees of all the workers and students organizations to defend ourselves from the repression of the regime!
Dissolve all the repressive forces of the state, the caste of judges and the intelligence service!
Isabel Huala, Facundo’s mother, and his whole family, went around tens of region fighting to conquer the broadest solidarity from all the workers and popular organizations. Unfortunately, the comrades arrived at the inquisition courthouse in Valdivia without any solidarity action whether in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia or any country in South America.
The governments and regimes are uniting under the commands of the monopolies and transnational companies to attack the workers and exploited that come out to fight for their demands.
We have to unite ourselves above the borders to free our hostages and fight for our demands!
We cannot get our demands with hostages of our class in the State’s jails!
Today, comrade Facundo was found guilty by the Pinochetist justice. However, the last word is not yet said. From the workers and students organizations that claim to be “classist and militant” in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and the entire continent, they must take the demand for the freedom of the political prisoners in their hands!
Only with the workers and the youth, with the fighting in the streets and the struggle methods of the working class, we will be able to take the hostages, the prisoners of the Pinochetist regime, out of the prisons.
ONE SINGLE CLASS, ONE SINGLE STRUGGLE!
The rebellion of the slaves is not a crime, it’s justice!
