Chile: An undercover cop conducting arson attacks to incriminate Mapuche

Infiltrated Police Agent admits authorship of fire outrages in Araucania, Chile. Diario Uchile Journal 15.2.2014, Oriana Miranda via antimilitarista Grupo Tortuga

The declaration of a protected witness who confessed having infiltrated the Mapuche communities for fire attacks by police instructions, marked the trial of two minors charged under the anti-terrorism law, who were eventually acquitted.
The Oral Criminal Court unanimously acquitted Angol Marileo Luis and Patricio Queipul, accused of violence in the Araucanía in the case called "Quino Toll " in 2009 and tried under the Terrorism Act despite being under age at the time.

The Audience had already been acquitted seven adults, while both kids had remain in custody during the course of the investigation.

Under this view, Raúl Castro Antipán ,  protected prosecution witness, stated in court on tuesday. Confessed to having made four arson attacks and other qualified as " terrorist " acts when worked as undercover police agent, aiming Mapuche leaders to frame. "Castro Antipán told to judges have been infiltrated by police in the Mapuche movement and under this condition have committed crimes such as illegal possession of firearms, arson and assault to a toll ," explained the Jesuit priest Luis García Huidobro.

Between 2009 and 2011, with President Michelle Bachelet and Edmundo Pérez Yoma as Homeland Minister, thirty villagers were in prison because of the testimony of Raul Castro Antipán as "delator compensated " by the Chilean Terrorism Act, heir of Pinochet fascist dictatorship. Both Luis Patricio Marileo as Queipul have remained in Angol Prison for over a year, even after having as primary evidence of a crime they did not commit the words of this undercover agent working for police.

In this situation, the journalist and writer Pedro Cayuqueo said that "for many people in southern Chile is not news what's happening with this protected prosecution witness", impunity, detailing the history of trials in which Raúl Castro Antipán participated. "This guy already participated last year in a trial in Temuco, where he also was the trump card of the Office. With his testimony was intended to incriminate the Mapuche comrades were finally all acquitted. He now participating in a new trial not only realizes an irregularity that has to do with due process here in the south , but also poverty of evidences that account Prosecutor to try imprison commoners" accused.

In his view, there is clearly a political intention behind the persecution of Mapuche activists determined by the anti-terrorism law that has been challenged by various human rights organizations at national and international level . "The application of this law violates the due process and procedural guarantees of the Mapuche people. What more proof of that is palpable, for example, in this case the use of protected witnesses who are confessed criminals who benefit from the provisions of the Terrorism Act, for example, leniency, to be used as tools of persecution the community leaders. It is unfortunate that the prosecution has to resort confessed criminals to attempt to imprison the leaders and that is something that should draw the attention of the authorities  "he added . This confession corroborates the allegations raised for years by the Mapuche people, human rights organizations and civil society , on the use of undercover agents with the aim of provoking riots that allow the arrest of social leaders.
           
Release: Autonomous Community Temucuicui confession to undercover police agent

Conclusions
The Mapuche Chilean territory, like many other regions, it mattered little to the state. Away from civilization, left to fend for decades took important first when mining corporations laid their eyes on those distant lands. Suddenly the territory appreciated. Worth millions. There was only one problem, there was an Indian tribe that survived the extermination refused to leave those lands. Again the Criminal State, used to mass murder and torture after decades of fascist dictatoship, would clean the area undesirable for corporations. Started a new genocide, this no longer ideological, like Pinochet operation condor directly racist in true fascist style. With what is not told that the Mapuche people resist .

The corporacioenes beset for years the Mapuche territory as well underline in his writings. 'Mining Ventures Inc.' from China and 'A Grade Trading' from USA peseen exploitation rights. The Mapuche people is a cohesive and warlike people, who assert their rights. The usual tactics do not work with them, so corporations must resort to even more the dirty war to achieve its production goals.

After years of ups and sabotage police recognized in charge of the police to bring before this war of attrition. The police is the hand of the corporations as the state is the guarantor of their interests.

All kinds of cover and represive techniques and tactics has been applied to the Mapuche people, from institutional to paramilitaries. But in 2005 the Chilean Government approved the Terrorism Act , which seems to be made to suit the desires of corporations and the needs of their hounds, police, to legitimize repression. If already did what they wanted without explanation, was it necesary?

For those who do not know: the Mapuche people is characterized by a philosophy and ideology as close to anarchism could be considered a libertarian people.

Solidarity with Joaquin CNT Madrid comrade kidnapped by the police: the years of gangsterism become again


Courage comrade. This fact is a sign that our movement bothers to Power. It is not the first time that such kind of incidents happen. Hope Joaquin out soon and in good conditions.

The police kidnaps our comrade Joaquin at Union local door 
This afternoon several Secret Polices with nothing better to do have been harassing for no reason several colleagues asking the documentation, as they refused to identify. For a long time have shown the swagger that gives carrying a weapon (it is his only strength), wanting to detain them whitout evidence they working for the armed force of the state. The harassment continued to the door of the Union, in 5 Tirso de Molina, Madrid. Them the secret agents had requested reinforcements, presenting a lot of individuals armed with batons and guns, uniformed. They have focused their objective in hunt the companion Joaquín, preventing both enter and exit the building of the Union.
Many neighbors and companions have approached the violent behavior and attitude, but these have increased the violence, assaulting several people, and grabbing Joaquin "reducing" (throw him away and kicking). The comrades have tried to prevent the arrest but police violence has made it impossible. Joaquin has been kidnapped at the door of the CNT and locked in prison in Leganitos police station, well known for allegations of torture practices to detainees.
So far we do not know the status of our partner because Leganitos Police Station refused to provide any information, not even his family, and also refused to give him counsel data to have a defense. We have no data or knowledge of what are doing with him, or if he has any formal accusation.
The CNT condemns all kind of State violence. The kidnapping of defenseless people is the most disgusting we suffered in the hands of these people and demonstrates the cowardice of a system that can be only legitimize by violence.

Chile Mapuche Represion: Silvana Lamilla letter from Temuco women's prison, arrested on 28March


March 30, 2013
Anewening greetings  for everyone I know, appreciate and are concern about the situation in which I have been involved at this time.

First of all thank you for the love, unconditional support of my mother, my dear son, brothers, family, multiple comrades, vegan friends with which we find ourselves, we recognize in everyday life, sharing the most beautiful thoughts, ideas, dreams creations in every moment, in every place where we live for if possible and impossible in reality a dignified, honest and free.

The deprivation of liberty and my fellow prisoner in the jail of Temuco, of course that is framed in the context of a crude policial performance, this time led by the know antimapuche  prosecutor and now ideas persecutor Miguel Angel Velazquez.

On March 28 at about 5:00 am. Were raided two homes of Temuko by repressive state-GOPE branch with verbal order for the alleged explosive device placement in both cases.

The result of the raid where I was was the destruction of property, seizure of computers, phones, cameras and money among other things. At the end of the operation we were informed arrested by status "drug trafficking". We were led to find injuries to the regional hospital of the city, then moved to the 8th police station where stayed with Other 10 vegan arrested over 30 hrs, not allowing go to the bathroom since 5:00 am. to 10:00 am approximately, refusing water or bathroom even to one of the detainees with 5 months pregnant.

In the extense detention and kidnapping were denied communicate by telephone with advocates , friends family and, in our case, we have not access to that right as arrested. I should note that in the 8th commissioner raped me dignity by not respecting my refusal to reject the blood sampling, for which I was raped, handcuffed and bound by two carabiners and two special forces polices to that proceeding.

Today March 30 I am accussed with 2 compaions with "explosive device" charged, sharing the module with other 48 prisoners of the capitalist system. After a formal indictment accused as "marijuana traffickers" (100gram can drugging 400 people) and hence, to three months in jail imprisonment while policial research confirms. These practices are old: nullify, discredit, and of course expose the image to the morbidity of the formal means of communication, in order to decouple the political performance and install common crime.

I am quiet, have had with the other prisoners a warm welcome from women solidarity, from a cup of tea, cleaning supplies, clothing, conversations, much joy despite the circumstances and continue to dream despite months, years from eternity of confinement, all cute, free and crazy!

I say goodbye until next writing. I'm here on the other side of the wall next to the other, with my spirit stronger than ever, strengthening my convictions and every dream darling ellxs tenderness.

See you soon, cuddles and hugs tight to my son, mother, brothers, grandmother, family in general, wenui, lagmien, compas and amigxs

PEWKAYAL!
FREEDOM IS A PURSUING CRIME !

AngryGreetings !
