In Chile, 32 Mapuche prisoners are on a hunger strike. Their protest, which began over two months ago, is intended to highlight the use by the Chilean government of Pinochet-era anti-terror legislation to criminalise Mapuche struggles for land rights and self-determination.<\/p>\n

Chilean Indians Freed on Bail Vow to Continue Hunger Strike<\/a>

\nSeptember 15, 2010<\/p>\n

SANTIAGO \u2013 Two Mapuche Indian activists freed on bail by a judge in southern Chile\u2019s Araucania region said they will continue the hunger strike they started 65 days ago with more than 30 still-jailed comrades.<\/p>\n

Sergio Catrilao and Pablo Canio were released Tuesday after posting bail of roughly $2,000 each.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will go on with the (hunger) strike until the end,\u201d Catrilao told reporters amid a crush of family members and supporters.<\/p>\n

Canio and Catrilao are accused in last year\u2019s burning of a bus in Temuco, the main urban center in Araucania, where Mapuches have been torching vehicles, highway toll booths and lumber shipments as part of a campaign to reclaim ancestral lands from agribusiness and forest products companies.<\/p>\n

The Chilean government is currently holding 106 Mapuches \u2013 most of them awaiting trial \u2013 for politically motivated crimes against property.<\/p>\n

They remain in custody under an anti-terrorism law imposed during the 1973-1990 dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.<\/p>\n

The Mapuche prisoners on hunger strike demand the scrapping of the anti-terror act, which allows the state to hold people for up to two years without charges, to restrict defense attorneys\u2019 access to evidence and to use testimony from anonymous witnesses…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The rally has been organised by the ‘Chilean Popular & Indigenous Solidarity Network’ and the ‘Latin American Solidarity Network’ (LASNET). Note that LASNET<\/a> is holding a big fat conference\/solidarity gathering on October 15, 16, 17 @ Trades Hall, with lots of great speakers from Latin America, Australia and the region, along with workshops on a divers range of subjects, ‘Building Bridges and Global Resistance against Multinational Corporations’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
