“All of these young people planted seeds of rebellion and today we continue learning from their successes and errors, each autumn we gather to glimpse ourselves, to contrast our realities, to analyze the grim context we live in and though our present may be very bitter we continue resisting.”
– Tomás and Mawvnkho
This past January 18, the comrade Tomás González was sentenced to 16 years in prison, setting his release date for 2038. Remembering that his co-accused Mawünkho has been free for months after having received an abbreviated sentence accepting the charges handed down by the Prosecutor.
At 23:00 of May 19, 2022, Tomás, Mawvnkho and two people who could not be captured were approached by three motorcycle cops in an ID check while they were in a plaza in the Ñuñoa neighborhood. It was then that Tomás shot at the two cops, wounding one in the leg and managing to flee for minutes, but being detained later on along with Mawvnkho by a patrol that came to support the cops.
For these acts Tomás received the sentence of 16 years, broken down as:
7 years for “attempted homicide of an on-duty police officer”, for having shot one cop in his bullet-proof vest.
6 years for “serious wounds to an on-duty police officer”, for shooting the other cop in the leg, resulting in a fractured femur.
3 years for “possession of a forbidden firearm”, for having a modified blank gun brand Ceonic 9mm calliber and 5 bullets .38 calliber
