(Chile) 86-Year Sentence Against Anarchist Comrade Francisco Solar Ratified

On March 27, 2024, the appeals court reviewed the conviction of anarchist comrade Francisco Solar.

Finally, the judiciary ratified the sentence of 86 years in prison for explosive attacks against the powerful, repressors and the neighborhood of the rich, rejecting the request of the defense.

In practice, this sentence remains a disguised life sentence. We reiterate the call to overcome the impotence and frustration in the face of the ratification of this state attack, understanding the condemnation as a blow to the entire anarchist movement. Our solidarity legitimizes the attack and defends the comrades in the anarchic and informal action.

Solidarity with those who attack the powerful and repressors!
Francisco Solar to the street!
