This December 7 was the conviction of power, against the anarchist comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar, who were finally condemned to 12 and 86 years in prison, respectively.
During the hearing that took place in room 703 of the “justice” center in Santiago, the multifunctional and unlimited deployment that the state carried out together with the business community, to convict both comrades, came to an end.
Francisco was convicted of: two shipments of explosive devices to the 54th Police Station and Rodrigo Hinzpeter [right wing politician and former Interior Minister and Defense Minister of Chile] (12 years + 12 years), one attempted homicide of the Carabineros (15 years), one crime of serious injury to the Carabineros (6 years), one crime of less serious injuries (600 days), five crimes of minor injuries (100 days each = 500 days), one crime of aggravated damage to the police station (818 days), one crime of frustrated homicide of Hinzpeter (12 years), two crimes of planting an explosive device, Tánica building (12 years + 12 years), adding up to a total of 86 years. He was also fined 8 utm per month.
As for Mónica Caballero, the comrade was finally sentenced to 12 years in prison as an accomplice of two crimes of placing artisanal explosive artifact in Tánica.
It should be remembered that both comrades have been in prison since June 24, 2020, serving a total of 3 years that must be deducted from the total sentence. In the same way, new appeals by the defense of the comrades are not ruled out.
As expected, the sentences were strong in this trial that was characterized by the show of Hinzpeter, his associates and subjects, who spared no resources to obtain all kinds of legal tricks, including the “study” of anarchist ideas that on more than one occasion were mentioned by the persecutors.
Likewise, after the radical declarations of Francisco Solar, who assumes and openly argues his responsibility in the actions against the repressor Hinzpeter, the business community and the 54th police station, this trial has marked a before and after in the recent history of anarchism in Abya Yala, leaving the role of innocence behind, to give rise to a conscious and necessary vindication of the use of violence against the powerful and their tools of oppression and social control.
To include and show solidarity with our comrades in prison.
We send Newen and all our love to Mónica and Francisco.
Mónica and Francisco to the street!!
