Mari Mari kom pu che. We salute all the lov in resistance, our families and pu wenuy who have accompanied us during this process of political imprisonment in the CCP of Concepción. To begin, we want to report the end of the preparation for the oral trial of the so-called Grollmus case, which lasted for more than 10 days in the Cañete Guarantee Court.
During its development, we were able to verify the weakness of the case that is only supported by statements from protected witnesses, whose testimonies have been obtained through various tricks committed by the prosecutor of the case, Danilo Ramos, and who today has him accused of the crime of prevarication after recognizing that he formalized without evidence a lamuen to collaborate with the investigation, violating his presumption of innocence, his right to remain silent and blatantly transgressing due process. This fact demonstrates how the prosecution together with the police have designed a case through agreements with defendants in other cases so that they testify against us at the expense of reduced sentences and alternative solutions and that today, as we said, they have the prosecutor sued and charged for recognizing how part of the testimonies of the protected witnesses have been obtained, whose stories have kept us in preventive detention for more than 16 months.
This situation adds to the story of criminality that the prosecution has developed in the media against the political prisoners, denying our Mapuche ancestry and commitment to the recovery of the territory usurped by foresters, settlers and landowners. The above is expressed with the intention of the plaintiffs to incorporate the former coordinator of the “Southern Macrozone” during the Piñera government, Pablo Urquizar, as an “expert” in the trial to reaffirm their racist and criminalizing story, which was rejected by the court at the request and allegation of our defenses.
But this is not the only thing. We have also seen how the judiciary has colluded with the prosecution to continue failing to comply with its own law, by once again postponing the trial against the two minors accused in the same case, whose oral trial by order of the Supreme Court should have begun on April 23, but by official and incomprehensible manner it was postponed to June 23, which translates for our peñi into two more months of provisional confinement in the Coronel prison. All these elements confirm that this case is only supported by a criminal narrative and the explicit abuse of the legal powers of the prosecutor and the police, which, we believe, will be demonstrated in the oral trial that will ultimately lead to our acquittal.
From the Concepción prison we reiterate our greetings and gratitude to all those who have supported us during this process. To the communities and lov that continue to resist and support territorial recoveries, especially to the Lov Rgaliko that was evicted and its rukas burned by the repressive forces in Alto Bío Bío. To the Mapuche and social organizations of Greater Concepción that have selflessly backed and supported us. To the comrades of Penco who resist the large mining of rare earths that intends to establish itself and destroy their territory. And to all our Mapuche people in resistance and political prisoners in the different prisons of Valdivia, Temuco, Angol, Coronel and Lebu.
Freedom for all Mapuche political prisoners!
Unit in the weichan!
