MARICHI WEW MARICHI WEW Contact: Orlando Carriqueo – 298 4786755   Appeal to all organizations in the face of repression, persecution and imminent transfer of 7 comrades to the jail of Ezeiza in Buenos Aires “This is a message for all women, to my pulamien, to my ñañas, to Pupa Pai, to the feminist collective, to No Woman Less, to all women who mobilize in situations of extreme violence, institutional violence, patriarchal sexist violence. Seven women have been imprisoned, 7 Laumen. Two of them are breastfeeding and are imprisoned with their babies. They want to transfer our Pulamien, we still do not know what the charges are, and we do not know what they are accused of. They are being kidnapped by the State only for being Mapuche. We ask you to please help us to make this situation visible, to take to the streets and demonstrate. We cannot allow them to continue to intimidate, dispossess, harass, and violate us, for the mere fact of being women and Mapuche. Please, at this point this is a desperate message.”   Public statement of Lof Huala We In the early morning of Tuesday, October 4, 2022, the “Unified Security Command Villa Mascardi Zone” created by the Ministry of National Security, carried out a violent eviction operation against the lof lafken winkul Mapu. Making deployment of all their war weapons, with tear gas and live ammounition, they burst into the rukas. Beating pu zomo who were with their little ones, some pichiche were able to run to protect them in the forest, but pu zomo ka pichiche had them more than two hours in the open of the militarized Route 40 to be transferred as detainees later on. Among them is the Machi Betiana Coluan Nahuel with her 4-month-old baby, other lamien zomo with her 1-month-old- baby, and a lamien with a full-term pregnancy. There are 7 in total the pu zomo detained and incommunicado in the Airport Police Station of Bariloche, in addition, they declared themselves on hunger strike on Wednesday 5/10/22. Yesterday, the pu pichiche who managed to escape from the operation were on the mountain hiding from the bullets and dogs that chased them, brave as their ancestors safeguard their lives protecting the forest. When the night came, 2 women were just allowed to go to look for them, they were walking all together in the totally militarized zone, with armed and heartless men fueled by hatred. These pichiche still cannot hug their mothers. Furilofche, Mapuche ancestral territory, Bariloche pi winka, is the scene of the operators of the far right of Argentina (today under the name of Consenso Bariloche), which is constituted by genocidal businessmen of the territories, landowners who speculate with the mirrors of waters. These dark characters come looking for another Mapuche body, to flag the presidential campaign of the US embassy’s employee Patricia Bullrich. We are called terrorists for returning to the territories of our ancestors, who lived in harmony and real care of life, practicing our spirituality, which today is violated again. They attacked a Mapuche community in which there are a Machi and her rewe to which many of our Mapuche people approach, to practice our worldview. It is a fact of racism with a level of unjustified violence, an attempt against a culture that pretends to rebuild everything that was taken from us, regardless of our lives or that of our children, living as Mapuche is our right. In the territory of the relmu lafke, where the blood of Rafael Nahuel iem was spilled in November of 2017, pu pichiche Mapuche girls and boys are born and raised whose parents made the courageous decision to put an end to which this system and this false Nationalist state subject us that wants to teach us showing us all its repressive force. Now it maintains the hunt against pu Lamien/peñi kona, who are in the territory, with their firm convictions to procect and prevent the business to be made with the land. We call on society aware of the struggle for life, a struggle that our Mapuche people sustain with the protection of everything that we still have left. To take a stand against these violent events, which are being experienced. Being able to mobilize, make the situation visible, and take actions to enable them to be urgently freedom of pu zomo to meet their people, prevent another Mapuche death in the mountains, and the return of the Machi to her rewe. The protest is urgent and immediate. The action must be now, militarization is an attempt to our lives and the eviction of the community is the prelude to the loss of vital spaces for humanity. Here the lives of future generations are at stake in exchange for the enrichment of a few. To pu Lamuen/peñi that are in the WallMapu, we must prepare ourselves. Newentu Aymi pu kona Lof Lafken winkul mapu. Ngillatunge puche, tamün lofche mew We demand the immediate release of the Machi and return to the Rewe. Stop violence against the Mapuche woman. We demand the urgent release of Pu Lamuen and the reunion with their children. Childhoods free of violence We do not want more Mapuche dead for defending the Earth.
