Epu:

Gendarmerie of Chile through its representatives in the region, regional director Nestor Flores Anabalon and head of unit, Héctor Miranda Almonoacid. They have been ignoring the existence of the rights protected by international rights organizations and Chilean legislation itself.

-Where we are not allowed, to be able to develop as Mapuche and at the same time as our traditional authorities have been carrying out in all these years. Rather, it is these characters who want to decide how we should carry our mogen on a daily basis inside the prison or module.

-Gendarmerie from Chile to unknown, the 8 points signed by gendarmerie in 2022.

We have been denied the ability to legalize wetripantu, from 2022 onwards.

-We have also been denied the possibility of carrying out the ceremony of changing the folle from 2022 onwards.

-The existence of our traditional authorities, pu machi, pu lonko, pu werken ka pu reñma, has been unknown.

-We have been systematically denied the ability to feed ourselves according to our own worldview and culture. Where it has been these representatives of the gendarmerie, Héctor Miranda himself and Néstor Flores, who have refused to carry out coexistence in a good way within the Angolan penitentiary.

This was recently stated in the meeting held on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at the regional directorate of gendsrmeria, Temuco. In this meeting, the need to generate a change and to be able to carry out the we tripantu inside the prison with the communities of Malleco and relatives of the Mapuche political prisoners was raised to the gendarmerie authorities. The Chilean gendarmerie opposed it and expressed a political negativity rather than respecting the rights of indigenous peoples. Ignoring the authority of the lonko Victor queipul. Who for the fact of respecting our rights as Mapuche police prisoners inside the prisons of Chile, Gendarmerie accuses him of a threat and locks him up in the prison of Concepción, CCP BIO BIO. Moving him more than 300 kilometers from his territory. In an arbitrary way.

Kila:

We demand the immediate resignation of the regional director of the gendarmerie, Néstor Flores Anabalón and the Head of Unit, Héctor Miranda Almonoacid. Product of the refusal to respect the rights protected in ILO Convention 169 and human rights that protect the existence of indigenous or native peoples. We also hold them responsible for everything that may happen to the health of the Peñi who will face this hunger strike. So that once and for all, our quality as a people belonging to this territory and of which we have been a part since time immemorial is respected. We understand that we are not on the best side, but we are part of a people that is characterized by unwavering struggle, by its spirituality, by its closeness to nature.

For taking care of our itrofil mogen, for protecting our ñuke mapu. The Mapuche take care of paradise, that which does not see the winka, that which does not see the one who seeks to profit, that which does not see the gendarmerie of Chile.

The Mapuche will not tire of fighting. he will never forget his freedom. Because in these lands our bare feet will walk from the great la futa mawuida to the imposing lafken mapu.

Meli:

Finally, we demand the immediate release of Lonko Victor queilpul.

We also call on the communities of Malleco mainly to be attentive to the racist actions of the Gendarmerie of Chile and the puppets of the State, as well as we call on the different LOF and territory of the Wall Mapu, the modules of Mapuche political prisoners to be united in this struggle.

Kiñeukuleiñ tufachi weichan rupu mu.

– Immediate release of the lonko Victor Queipul.

– Freedom for all Mapuche political prisoners

– Dignity and respect for the Mapuche modules

Mapuche political prisoners module F, Angol prison.
